I rehearsed last night with The Stone City Nephews (John Waite, Jake Niederhauser and Jim Leland). We have had a few ups and downs, some cancellations, some illness, other conflicts... But we're really gelling as a unit now, and the music is becoming beyond beautiful. I could not have imagined anything more perfect than this mix for these songs.
When this kind of beauty happens, the heart gets happier by the note. There were wonderfully pure moments where everything was just right, and even a few wonderfully horrid moments where we all managed to laugh at ourselves. But this music is now becoming what I meant it to be, and it's like watching your child grow up and get a Nobel Prize for Saving The Planet and Being Nice to Puppies. I'm even playing better, finding more right notes than wrong notes and playing some really pretty licks once in a while.
And so, life is good.
