Learn the Song First

"You have to know the song so well, that while your playing, if somebody blows your head off with a double barrel shotgun, your body will keep playin'."
-Stephan Grossman

Could it get any colder on the Olympic Peninsula, both inside and outside? Probably..and most likely it will after the rain forecasted for Thursday and Friday. The snow lingers, but melt it must, sooner or later.

Rollin' Waters performed especially well Saturday night in Olympia at Engineered Software's Christmas party. We didn't play any holiday songs, but they liked us a lot, and we sold a few cds. Free dinner, too! We even had a bite from the Little Creek Casino as a result of a party-goer with a connection there. We'll see what happens. Sunday at the Junction was another story, however. Sometimes I think I must have a lot of misdirected nerve to open my mouth to sing some of these great songs and then mess them up terribly. What was I thinking? Next time will be better...promise! Of course, all is never completely wasted, and we did record a live version of "Freight Train" with some great vocals by Stephanie. Here's the link: Freight Train. The back-ordered Zoom H4 finally arrived and it sounds pretty good to my ear for a first live recording. More to follow with any luck.
