No, don't get excited, we don't have a nine piece band. Elana, Ira and I have managed to get down a 9 song set of songs that is sounding stronger and stronger each week. I've just had songs pouring out of me lately and they are really working well with this lil outfit so far. If we could just get our mits on a drummer we would be set and good to go. We have tossed the idea around about adding a second guitarist but no until we can solidify a drummer.
The two new songs went over REALLY well w/ the other two. The first, one called "She Wished On Stars" was inspired yet again by a line that a good friend of mine wrote in a blog entry once. It came out sounding very Neil Young-ish which actually worked out really well. The second, called "Ghost Town" is something old turned something new. I wrote the "Ghost Town" song for the CD "Postcards From Ghost Town" about 6 years ago and even since it's conception I just haven't been that fond of the song. Well, after years of listening to Neko Case & Her Boyfriends, the song just took on a whole new life actually sounding like a "haunting", or better yet "haunted" number. Again, it just really seemed to gel so well w/ the other material, even though it's pretty different from the rest.
Growth, you gotta love it. We just seem to be growing by leaps and bounds and I learning how these two work is just an amazing experience. I'm feeling like I'm really hearing Elana PLAY for the first time. She's really letting it rip on these songs and has really blown me and Ira away. Ira has been playing with a really great flow and is really adding his thing to each of the songs which I love. On top of that, the three of us have been working as a team to arrange these songs and put them together. Once again, things are going well and we continue to move forward!
