Guitar Circle Sundays s. 2 #1, "soft opening", 9-4-11

In attendance: Brad, Rick, Victor, David, Chris, Dev

All are present by 6:30. Brad and Rick got here early to set up lights and get stools and equipment going. We have a new mixer.

A little prehearsal before our performance tonight: Third Relation, Eye of the Needle, Morning Has Broken, the Haydn canon. Some review of the canon is necessary, after which we give a go in an organized manner.

We continue along preparatory lines with Flying Home when the first guest of the season comes in off the street, having seen the words 'guitar circle' with an arrow pointing on a sandwich board outside. At 7:35, we take this as a sign of the beginning of our performance. We play for about forty-five minutes.

We pow wow after the guests depart and, among other things, follow up on the konokol exercise Victor presented last week; tonight he offers another and other suggestions for further experimentation. We decide that the best use of our time is for rehearsal and get to work. Some of the items addressed are Intergalactic Boogie Express, with Victor picking up the bass, and Love is Green as a trio with Chris, Victor and Rick.

Tear down and out by 10:30.
