Cello and Violin at Gig Tonight

Last night's rehearsal was just so awesome. My music takes on a completely powerful dimension when a cello and violin are accompanying it! It was unbelievable.

Jenn Lewis is amazing on that cello. And Kristen McMullen rocked on the violin too.

We even had Zack Oaster playing percussion on some inverted pails... believe it or not, it sounded tres cool. Tonight Zach is going to record the night on video.

We decided to rehearse on the front lawn, since it seemed kind of stuffy and humid in the house. I also wanted to get a feeling of how it would carry with acoustic instruments outside. So we set up the piano and mic, and then Jenn on the cello sat on my driveway with the post of her cello resting on a tree root. Kristen sat on the front step with Zach.

I hope you're thinking of coming to the gig at Freeway tonight... I know you'll have a great time! It's at the corner of King and Wellington, near the big "DOWNTOWN" sign.

See you there?
