Wild Cats Gone

Hi Everyone,
Sorry about the long absence. My life was incredibly busy in recent weeks and it seems that it still hasn't subsided. In any case, Wild Cat Days have now come and gone. Our Inter-Church Band performed on Friday night and Saturday afternoon for segments of just under 2 hours each time I believe. Friday night was limited by Thundershowers, and Saturday afternoon was delayed because a dunk tank got mixed up and went in our location (after much confusion, we were able to eventually set up nearby; just out of splashing distance).
Anyways, even with my pessimistic viewpoint, I would still say that it was worthwhile. I'm glad we did it. It seems people enjoyed the music at least some of the time. Some of the teens from my soccer team were really impressed by my electric guitar and they knew all about it too.
For the music, we seemed to have a pretty good crowd on the Friday night, especially at first.
Anyways, Aaron has posted videos of 2 of the songs that we did; one of his friends taped a bit.





I promised a finalized set list but I'm unsure whether there is any point because we only did maybe two-thirds of our 32 songs we had prepared. I think some of our more popular songs might have been:
When the Night Feels My Song- Bedouin Soundclash
Vertigo- U2
Have You Seen the Rain?- CCR
Meet With Me- Tim Hughes or somebody
On The Radio- Regina Spektor
Inside & Out- Feist/BeeGees
Fidelity- Regina Spektor
On Call- Kings of Leon
Mushaboom- Feist
Can I Help You? -Kristine Lyall

Actually, I think I love doing Kristine's songs the most. We need more opportunity to do them in the future. I was a little disappointed in some of our sound in the outdoor environment and without our usual guitar amps. But that's life.
Anyways, check out Monson's blog on the right to hear about our soccer tournament going on that weekend too.

Awwww thanks Matt. That's very nice of you. You didn't just happen to say that because you knew I would read this did you?

Nope. I wasn't sure anyone would read this because I haven't blogged for some time.
