Gypsy

Now, as most of you know, I am a harsh critic when it comes to vocalists and I have to say that the cast is filled with excellent pipes. It's a fun show and I highly recommend this show to everyone.

Toronto Condo Show Recap
This past weekend, I had the chance to play at the Toronto Condo Show with Melodious Vibes.
Everything went well and the response that we got from the show was great. Thanks to all who came by.
Looking back, I found this a great time to take a look at songs that we haven't looked at in years. Saturday seemed to be the day of re-hashing all the "oldies but goodies". Some were songs that I had not played in over 6 years. Anyway that was nice.
Sunday I got a chance to do a number of songs with only Lianne; vocals and bass duet stuff. It's a good challenge to bass players to work in duet situations; especially if they are not piano or keyboard. It makes you think more about the notes you pick when supporting your partner. Walking also becomes more exposed and if you do too many songs that have the same tempo and feel, the song becomes the same song.
Anyway, the Toronto Condo Show was a great experience again and was an excellent opportunity to try new things and re-learn the old.
