Not to discourage anybody (especially Naemanson!), but last night was a very quiet night, both regarding musicians and listeners. A lot of regulars in both categories were missing (gigs and probably Christmas shopping or something). Especially earlier in the evening we were able to perform (and hear ourselves!) songs that we normally wouldn't do in that venue because of the ambient noise and sometimes zooishness of too many (well, there's not a lot of space at the Press Room) musicians.

By later in the evening ALL of the listeners were non-regulars. I think we may have convinced a few of them of the enjoyability of traditional non-amplified music. We may have even convinced them that accoustic music and non-miked vocals were possible!

It was a very good session and we had a lot of fun! It was really nice having "new blood" and new songs.
