Songs for Saturday: OR-eCon concert

[mdlbear]

OK, here's the setlist for my concert this afternoon:

1. Ship of Stone
2. The Stuff that Dreams are Made Of
3. A Talk With the Middle-Sized Bear
4. A Tribute to the Middle-Aged Bear
5. Windward
6. We'll Go No More A-Roving
7. The River
8. Riverheart
9. The October Country
10. The Toolmakers
11. Millennium's Dawn
12. Bells of Norwich
13. The Mary Ellen Carter

As usual, I was fiddling with the set-list up to the performance and beyond -- I swapped "Bells of Norwich" and "The Mary Ellen Carter" at the last minute, which was definitely the right thing to do. It came out to 55 minutes, which was 5 minutes over, but the moderator let me get away with it.

My guitar playing was very sloppy in parts, and I kept forgetting chords on the songs that weren't fully chorded-out. And fumbling a chord tends to throw off my vocals, though I've gotten better at just singing over the fumbles. People seemed to like it.

I made a recording off the zoom; we'll see how that goes after I've learned enough about video editing to split it into separate songs.

Marvellous playlist. And IMO the -best- song to end with!

Thanks! I'll try to have audio, at least, up later this week.

Sounds like fun!

Thanks -- it was (for sufficiently skewed values of fun). I mean, a good performance is a wonderful thing to have done, but while I'm actually performing I'm too busy to notice anything but the parts where I've gotten into trouble by thinking about what I'm doing rather than just doing it, if that makes sense.

But I think it came off fairly well, and if anyone noticed the trainwrecks they were too polite to mention it.
