Contra Jam

Since Apple Crisp's schedule was getting quieter, we decided that we would invite some friends over to play some music, hopefully learning some new tunes and making some new friends in the process. We made Apple Crisp, as to live up to our name, and thanks to our musician friends who are also very good cooks, we had a nice pot luck dinner of lentil soup, pizza, couscous, and many other good things. Time flew, as it always does when you're playing music or dancing. It sounded great, and hopefully, some of the people that came to the jam will come to our gigs.

I was very excited by some of the new tunes we learned. The tune Skippin Cat definately sounded skippin to me, and some of our other sets from our tune list sounded more lively than usual. I also enjoyed playing a bit of button box, and I felt as though the band was more whole, since we had a range of instruments. The musical chemistry that went on was very fun, and by the end we were all reluctant to stop playing. My dad recorded it, although I haven't listened to it yet. Thanks to all that came and on that note, all that cooked!
