This was a week where we had a bunch of problems and the music probably displayed our issues. First of all we were like amplifier whores this week, blowing any PA we could get our mouths on. We went through 1 PA, 2 amps and probably could have easily blown the 3rd replacement PA if we didn’t show a little restraint. There was something wrong in the room this week. Maybe it was Liza Minelli who rehearsed at Carroll’s earlier in the day. It was a tough day, all of 55th Street was a Tow-Away-Zone due to paving and lo-and-behold, when we left there was actual paving going on, so if someone did park on 55th, they would have been towed. When not getting towed is the best part of the night you know the jam has issues.
We got through the jam somehow, even though Alan left a little early to leave us to our own devices, which I can’t blame him for, there was obviously nothing worthwhile going to happen in the room that night. It was going downhill pretty quickly from the get-go. A good thing is we had Rob and Miriam join us so at least we had some happy guests other than the ubiquitous and babbling Scott Bayer.
If you want to hear the music, and I suggest everyone avoid this week, it is at:

“They Love Each Other” is actually rather good.

That’s good to know, I kind of remember that being ok.

Was it that bad? I remember mediocre, not sub-par. Wasn’t there a She’s Leaving Home? Or are all my memories invalid.

Invalid, you are an invalid.
