Yes, say hello to Jessica Skerritt for me.
Back from a rather formless rehearsal. They got to my number around ten-fifteen (7:00 start), which may tell you something - and there were quite a few numbers to go (which should tell you something). The piano player was freaking out with me because no one had given him a clew as to what I was doing with the song, A Parade In Town. For some reason, he thought it was a ballad. He asked if we could just work on it tomorrow, but I thought that was folly, so I completely put him at his ease by simply playing the "feel" I wanted - he got it immediately and we were done five minutes later. More in the notes. I'm eating my first and only meal of the day right now - McDonald's.
