Last Monday, “The Moment” (def: Nolan and whoever else) had a jam session at my house. I got my whole rig out, indicating this was a special occasion (first jam in more than a month).
1 – Great funky track. It’s rough going now and then, but has some incredible passages, and is definitely [...]

The session was pretty good. We were solid, pretty together, and groovy. My biggest problem with it is that we sounded a lot more like a “jam band” than usual. I have a conjecture: pot + guitar = jam band.
That [...]
Last Friday, I had my first real gig. I performed with Nolan and a few others in front of 40-odd people. We played eight Nolan originals:

The Me Song
Movin’ On
2012
The Guy Who Learned to Fly
Hippie Chick (Encore)
The roster:
Nolan – Vocals, Acoustic Guitar

Ryan, our old drummer, has been excommunicated from The Moment for being a drumstick-throwing drunk. Over the weekend, two drummers auditioned for (read: jammed with) us. Leor on Saturday, Mark on Sunday. On Sunday we had the full seven-piece band there, so that was pretty cool. On Saturday we were only [...]
On Halloween, all the musicians I have ever known in The Moment (except Steve the drummer, I suppose) jammed. It was cool.

It has been a long time since I last played with The Moment (or any band). Tonight Nolan, Josh, and I got together and played some music.
No. 1
No. 2
No. 2 (take 2)
The Bowl-Packin’ Blues
Born Again(?)
No. 3
The omnidirectional mic was facing(!) away from me, so I came in pretty quiet. That’s not too bad, [...]
A subset of The Moment, that is to say Nolan, Josh, and I, got together tonight and played some music. I was trying to record it multi-track style for clean mixing, but Reason and Cakewalk Sonar do not play nicely together (Sonar claims the whole audio driver, so Reason cannot output while Sonar is [...]
Nolan recruited a new drummer, whose name I don’t recall. He has experience with trance, as one can definitely tell from these recordings. I like them a lot; however, as usual, they lack focus (our dynamic range is getting better though). Tonight was entirely improvisation, though we found ourselves doing some songs [...]
The Moment practiced again today. Finally, Steve the drummer showed up. Starting at track #9, we started a heyhole exercise. Everything was going well until steve put his riff into the mix. It was consistent, but the beat was so weird that it messed everybody else up. Nonetheless, we persevered [...]
