We had to stand in for Jo and her band today. Today's not supposed to be our session. And so because of this, we would still have to go ahead and do our session next wk (3 wks in a row now), before taking a break for the next 3 wks while Jo gets her turn. Hmm... don't think the break would do any good. Cos while we are doing a decent job of building up our stamina for doing 3 x 45 min sets and then suddenly there's a break. Oh well.

Any way, today was fun. Dangerously fun though. Cos it was such a last minute replacement thing, we never got to jam. The only form of preparation was a verbal walk-through the forms/entrances, etc of all the songs by eugene on thurs nite at 11 plus. Hmm. I had to admit I was rather worried at first. But then, I thought, what the heck, just go and have fun. Indeed, it was! We did exactly the same repertoire as the first session. The turnout was... ok. At 8pm there was this family of 4. They left at 9. Then we played our 2nd set to empty tables, chairs, to the walls and paintings. Then, 3 ladies came and occupied the table outside. And halfway into our final set, a group of uncles/auntie came in for drinks. We then decided to repeat the teresa teng song which we sang in the 2nd set since it felt rather well-received. Glad to say that my singing was greeted with some applause. So I didn't massacre the song that much *whew*
Songs-wise, made the usual boo boos. Gabrah lyrics (but only for 1 song!) and forgot entrances. Sigh. My brain really does switch off after 10pm.

Today was fun. Different styles, better acoustics. Yummmmm

Let's hope this works out to something permanent and leads us to more/bigger things!
