Band Rehearsal

What an amazing energy at the rehearsal!

I'm super excited for the show this week. Especially now. I could only work schedules so that we (the three of us) could rehearse one time. That's usually running pretty close for a show where the group hasn't ever performed any of the songs previously. Needless to say, things went fabulously. The energy and freshness was at a very high level. The mix of sounds, the personalities of each of our voices, was really shining and creating something very spiritual.

I feel so excited to be able to do this again this week, and have other people there to enjoy and contribute to the experience as well.

(Not the) Music Post

Okay, since I committed to leading the Renewal service on Saturday, I didn't quite have time to write the big music post I promised. I will come....eventually.

Some Jews have come out with some great CD's lately. Matisyahu - Light. So far I'm liking this a lot more than Youth. Hot tracks include Smash Lies, So High So Low, and For You. The second one is the new one from the Phab Phour, Phish - Joy. Their Jewish rhythm section (Mike Gordon and Jon Fishman) is on top, not to mention Trey being at his best. My favorite tracks so far include Backwards Down The Number Line, Time Turns Elastic, and Sugar Shack.

The band(*) will also be having a marathon rehearsal on Saturday night to prepare for the Jew Year's Eve IV show next Thursday. It will rock!

Shabbat Shalom, y'all.
