Last Night's Rehearsal

Good morning Santa Cruz!
No special topic to write about this morning - having my coffee and slowly bringing the world into focus.
Last night I had the first Altared Christmas rehearsal of the year with Bob Burnett, Patti Maxine, and Matt Bohn.

As it seems to be my rehearsal style, I probably talked too much and over explained everything, and the first part of the rehearsal had me thinking, "Oh my, is this ever going to make sense?"

Soon however, after the talking had been done, the break had been taken, and we resumed our places in my cramped, little rehearsal space, the music started again and it began to sound the way I was hoping it would - inspired.

This is the hardest of the music I am doing for the show. It is also the easiest. Not much to it really - jazzy, solos... but it is the connection between the artists that must be there, and to create a connection with just a few rehearsals is a challenge.

I so look forward to it.

I hope you all can make it to the show.
