mdlbear: blue fractal bear with text "since 2002" (Default)

There was no post yesterday, because we had a power failure at 11:30, and I didn't think to post a quick note about it until this morning. *sigh*

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.
