Musical claustrophobia



Working hard on a second set (not least because I’m soooo bored with the first set of thirteen songs: God, does it show? I hope not.) But not confident enough to float any of it yet.
So during a quick blast in Monmouth this afternoon I stuck to the old favourites, you know, Ain’t Misbehavin’, Blue Moon?  Actually, if you’re interested here’s the full list. I plan to run through them at the French Market in Ross-on-Wye tomorrow morning:
Sax in the heather
Dorothy’s Blues (own composition OC)
Fly Me To the Moon
Shadow of your Smile
Keep Young and Beautiful
Mayday (OC)
Soul Le Ciel
Effervescence (OC)
Blue Moon
Descent into D (OC)
Try a Little Tenderness
Warming the Street (OC)
As Time Goes By
Ain't Misbehavin'
So how did it go in Monmouth? Well I shared my spot with John who was having a spot of bother with the cider and the sun. And a nice lady who’s had some heroin damage. Maybe it put off the punters?
Don’t tell anyone but I only took a pound and that from our pal Elspeth who was up for the day.
Still the weather was good. And after a week of rehearsing in the claustrophobia of the cellar it was good to get out.
