KR: (remarking on my 60^th birthday) So are you starting a senior citizens' group?
me: Heck no, I'm starting a band!

I'm pretty sure now that I want to put our live performance of "High Barratry" (available here) on the CD. There's some good audience reaction, and the CD needs a little more variety.

Now, that's the way to celebrate one's 60th....

I think I'm starting a commune for my 40th... which is likely to have a house band of its own, or at least a madrigal group or something....

(cflute and LJ-less L were really kicking it last night on such things as "Grey Selkie" and "Sing Coo Coo" (dunno if that last title is right)....)

Hee hee hee! Um, technoshaman, the song you're referring to would be Sumer Is Icumen In, one of the oldest surviving rounds...

And frankly I thought our best number was Song of Sherwood, though Grey Selchie went reasonably well.

It was a good night, musically. And it felt really good to be back into music-making.

After not making music for, what, a whole week? ;-)

I'm expecting some music at Saturday's party at the Starport.

Not making music for almost two weeks, really, since I haven't done anything particularly musical since Consonance. And working with L is somewhat reminiscent of working with catsittingstill, since it's a femme duo with someone who is a seasoned vocalist and guitarist. Just a different (so far, more Trad(tm)) repertoire, which in itself is nice to get (back) into.

I hope that music will indeed break out at the Starport for tomorrow's party! Lots of well-wishes from us kids up north. :)

Sounds like fun!
