Music has always been a huge passion of mine.  I admit that I may not quite have the talent of many in this city, but I’m grateful to have to the opportunity to play with an amazing group of musicians in the Toon Town Big Band.

On March 22, 2015, we headed down to the Bassment to record a few songs.  We’ve been talking about this for awhile now as people keep asking to hear us.  Our singers will record their bit separately and we’ll hopefully have a finished product soon.

I never expected to be in a group like this let alone be recording songs.  It was certainly quite an experience too!  Technical difficulties on the end of out sound man took some time to sort out, but eventually, it was all on us.  We did take after take with some pieces going better than others.  It’s funny how much concentration you put into not making a mistake…only to make a mistake on something simple later on.  But that’s the way it goes!  And the end of the day though, it was a blast!

I did take my camera down hoping to get some good pictures of everyone, but as I rarely shoot in low light, I had neglected to spend the necessary time studying my flash.  Maybe I’ll take it to our next gig.  At least I got a shot of the sax section though!
