Some great sounds.  I have enjoyed the listen.

Love Mary “conducting” the close.

We need to work just as hard on the opening as we do on the close

We rock have some rocking songs.

• Born Bayou
• Green River (the harmony is featured on the track.)
• Boots
• When will I be Loved. (ending is featured)\
• Already Gone is strong.
• Mercedes Benz by Janis Joplin was a Pleasant surprise.

Keep practicing.

My Jan goals are to:

• Get the beat into Muscle Memory
• Sort out the scroll on the iPads.
• Update the setlist

Muscle Memory  Practice at Speed

1 All practice notes are  in Google Docs. Its easy for me to update this way.
