Into The Mystic

What a great rehearsal last night. Lady E was definitely missed but I was so glad that Ira and I got together anyways. We had a great time just catching up, getting to know each other a bit more. That was really cool to do. I even learned that he's a HUGE Blind Melon fan so he'll be joining Spoob and I on the 2nd at the Lincoln Theatre.

We ran through the set of originals that we've been running through and they sounded great. I can even begin to explain how good this kid is. He's got such a great flow to him and he really knows how to work these songs in his own way. The way him and Elana mesh is just what I've always wanted to hear but playing w/ just him last night really let me hear what he could do. He didn't disappoint. For those that are curious, it's not a huge secret but here is the list of songs we're working on so far:

• The Rain
• I Wish I Could Run Away
• Another Cowboy Song
• The Road Is In My Blood
• Drought County
• Take Me Back Home

Not a bad lil set to get started if I may say so myself. We're already up to 6 songs and last night, Ira and I played around with the songs "Winds Of Home" and Van Morrison's "Into The Mystic". Ira really dug "Winds Of Home" and took off running w/ that one. We kinda kicked around "Into The Mystic" and found that it actually sounded REALLY good. We both thought that this would be a fun cover to introduce to rehearsals to see how it goes!

We placed our ad for a drummer over at Craig's List. You can check it out by going to http://raleigh.craigslist.org/muc/482983467.html. If anyone knows ANYONE that fits this description, please send them our way! I'm so excited to get this thing off the ground but damn, we are off to such an amazing start in such a short period of time. This band is truly gonna be something magical. Hell, it already is...
