Hi, I'm here. We were at church all this a.m. & now have to play catch-up again before work tomorrow. Duane & our female vocalist w/ no voice played their instruments. Our(new)drummer finally showed up about 1/2 hr. before the concert. He was great, but there was no time for sound check & going through songs. As a result, the balance between instruments & vocals was somewhat off, w/ the drums & electric bass winning. Rumor has it, in the 2nd set (ours), they got it adjusted somewhat better. I got through the set without coughing (Thanks, Dr. RiB!). My lead went well (Our leader says the harmony was "sweet"), but I think it would have sounded better at a slightly faster tempo. Guess I ought to learn to accompany myself! David recorded the whole concert & thinks he got a decent recording, but I haven't heard it yet. I was going to get a few pictures of the group after the concert, but our digital camera was acting up & I thought we were out of luck. As it happens, one of our church ladies also had a digital & brought in prints this am. When she gets one to me, I *may* post it. If so, I'll let you know. We had the usual problems--cables & mikes acting up, too many people sharing a small space (9 of us), I felt like I really flubbed my intro, but when I acted to not talk any more, they just smiled at me. No new concerts for now. I think I need to make more suggestions for new folk songs to add to the set. The 1st set was so amplified that we actually lost some of the audience. Thanks for all your input & interest. I'm not quitting my day job. :)
