Music: Singing with my family

[mdlbear]

I had a totally different post planned, but it doesn't seem to be going in the direction I wanted it to. It's probably going to take some serious editing, if I don't give it up entirely. Instead you get this.

I miss singing with my family. Since N and her kids moved down to Seattle it's been a lot harder to get together and sing; they were up here for the day (yesterday evening through tomorrow mid-day), and we've spent much of this evening working on songs. I have no idea when Lookingglass Folk's next concert is going to be, but it has the potential to be amazing. Just sayin'

We started with "Ripple", which is new for the group, sang "Bells of Norwich" because I needed it, and worked mostly on "Lord of the Buffalo" and "Ship of Stone", which we've been working up new vocal arrangements for. They're coming along.

For some reason I've been having problems with D chords on the guitar. Weird. My middle finger keeps being off by a string; it took me a while to track down exactly what I was doing wrong, and paying attention to it threw me off on the surrounding chords. Grump. Obviously I need to practice more.

How lovely!
Does your group have anything recorded online?

It looks like we only have one of our concerts up on the web. Not completely sure why, but that was the year we moved up to Seattle, and somehow I never managed to get back on track. A few more may have been recorded.

Anyway, the one we have is https://lookingglassfolk.com/Concerts/2012/01/27-29-Conflikt/

There are quite a few concerts with me either solo or with my two previous bands, at https://steve.savitzky.net/Concerts/ (The two previous bands, Tres Gique and Tempered Glass, have their own websites, but steve.savitzky.net has the complete set of concerts so far.)
