Sparehand may have made its North American debut last night at the Press Room. I may have made some minor word fumbles (my mouth wasn't working) but I didn't forget any words or mess up the tune. People listened. People applauded. People said "Wow - great song!"

I found people singing along on the last lines - Bat Goddess, in particular, hit the "fisherman" with some great fifths. Bruce, who later said I sounded better than he'd ever heard me, and he'd tell me about mistakes, came in with a strong harmony on the repeat of the last two lines at the end.
