Wow And Flutter Blog

Welcome to my new blog spot for Big Black Smoke. I thought that this might clean up the look of the news page. From time to time I like to talk about music, gear, gigs, and what the band has been up to. I am hoping to add shortly some video and some new audio to the website. Recently we have been hiding in my basement rehearsing for the Centennial Choir show. We have worked up 8 new numbers for the show as well as 3 numbers with slightly different arrangements. They are shaping up nicely and we are really excited about the fleshed out arrangements with the choir. I had the good fortune of sitting in on a rehearsal today, and I must say how impressive it was. Some songs were rehearsed in previous sessions, but the new material was equally as good in it's stripped down state. It always amazes me how young people can learn so quickly. They improved with every take. To my amazement the students really dug the music. We can't wait for the full rehearsal with 30 voices behind us, It will be a really cool experience. Until next time........

Cheers,
Gary
