Usual Thursday...I redeemed myself on
Lonely Boy. I experimented with the difference between vibrato and leslie on my organ stuff. Not too much else happened--my awe inspiring setlist (complete with clip art) was about all I had. It was a weird night where it seemed like I couldn't get my levels set quite right--too much of this, too little of that. I'm trying not to set my stuff up wide open, but when I stand up (to play saxophone, for instance), and I don't get the feeling that I've got any kind of volume happening. Even Nick asked me if my sax mic was on. Hmm.
I will say this...my reeds are old and soft, and I played
Baker Street sooooo flat. I would've needed a hacksaw to get up to pitch. Soft reed, and then all the cold air blowing down the stairs hit my horns. Boo. Time to start breaking in a new batch!
So much for that. In the mean time, check this out (with fellow IU alum Sara Caswell on violin):
