Past 3 weeks of recording, performing, writing, rehearsing and listening have been mind -bending, exhilarating and exhausting all at once. Like Schrodingers pussy, sort of, all alive and dead at once ;-) Take home quote...Playing music IS hard, because youre never really there, never where you want to be.... Although, this time, we DID come close, Don ;-) Sooo...
