Quick update

It’s been a busy week for both Michael and me, so we haven’t had a ton of time to work on new songs throughout the week.

Michael’s been driving between Portland and California, trying to finish moving to California. And I’ve been practicing with a rapidly-formed work band to play at a company Diwali celebration this Friday (tomorrow).

The work band has been practicing every night, trying to master 11 songs for an hour-long performance. Tonight, we finally ran through the whole set twice without falling apart, so I think we’ll be ready to put on a decent show tomorrow.

The Indian music that we’re playing is pretty interesting… Several of the songs are male/female duets, and tricks are played with the chord structure so that the female verse is the same chord pattern as the male verse but just twice as stretched out. And there are interesting chord rhythms, etc. — maybe Michael and I will try to work some of these ideas into a future song.

Anyway, that’s what we’ve been up to. Thanks everyone for their comments. We also posted Please Come Home To Me for review at http://www.musicmarketing.net/forum/topics/song-review-please-come-home, so you can see what people have said about it there (just one review so far).

We hope to post another song to the blog this Saturday morning, so stay tuned =)
