The services were the same kind of thing I generally do on my church gigs, playing soprano sax in a generally improvisational setting. Pretty easy. The first two services had pretty big ensembles, but the third was just piano, one vocal, and me. With a little more room to play, that one was definitely the most fun. I got lots of compliments from all three; success all the way around. It looks like I'll be doing this gig (three services at the same church) once a month. Nice. I only have to wake up early every few weeks.
After a quick trip home to exchange gear, I was off to a Yacht Rock wedding reception for some friends of the band. Not my best gig, let's just say. I was certainly tired and mentally fried (and my corner of the stage was so dark I couldn't read the set list, the couple of charts I had, or see my EWI pedal on the floor), but I my playing was pretty shitty. I had trouble everywhere in the set list; I never could get in any kind of groove. It was frustrating as hell. I could itemize my mistakes, but I want to forget everything about this one as soon as possible.
