Monday and Tuesday were spent working. After work Tuesday I headed over to Adam & Michelle's new place in Decorah and we attempted our first rehearsal in the new space. I quickly realized that the drum kit that Michelle bought was going to need a little TLC to function correctly, but we still managed to get through a handful of songs before deciding that a room rearrangement might allow things to run a little more smoothly.
Thursday was spent working although I did have the opportunity to teach a lesson to my Decorah student on the way home. I had a couple hours of relaxing at home before heading down to Del's bar to drum for Nick Shattuck from 10pm-2am. The show was a lot of fun, especially with the ace of Bass Patrick Longmire Jr. adding some sweet harmonies. This may be my last show with Nick for awhile as I will be otherwise engaged during his next two shows and then he is leaving for Catalina this summer.
Friday I had the day off and after sleeping in late to recover from the show at Del's I had fun working on some new music before a birthday dinner with my folks in the evening.
Saturday morning I continued work on a new song entitled BigOceanWave. I recorded a rough version of it on my iphone, however it doesn't seem to have reoriented it so it is sideways. Check it out below:
Sunday was mostly spent doing errands and relaxing and teaching a guitar lesson. Pretty great week overall, gearing up for a bunch of shows in May and my appearance on La Crosse's 95.7 The Rock Local Lixx on Friday, April 30th @ 11:00pm.
