Thank you to all who came to support us in our debut performance in the Stoltz Listening Room, at the Avalon Theatre. Our friends, Ken and Sara Kraft had a front row view (thank you for the pictures!), however in this room, there are no bad seats. The room felt comfortably full (we sold over 3/4 of the seating), and fully engaged, with interaction on and from stage as spontaneous invention, for sure. This was, perhaps the best incubator so far in which to study our own  group "chemistry" (and, as always, ourselves), and we come away with an expanded view of what this effort represents, and where it can go (artistically and otherwise). We all loved playing this room, and have been assured that we'll be invited back. Tomorrow we meet for the final editing session for our new CD. And the journey continues ...   (Joe)

Looking and sounding good ...

In the process of sorting through last week's recording session. This was validating for me, as it went as I imagined it would. Even though some edits will be made, we succeeded in laying down a complete CD of usable tracks, in one evening! Why was I confident of this outcome? Because of the connection we make (conversation we have) when performing together. Now, the journey is well underway, and the documentation of this particular point will soon be published. A good friend (from other musical adventures) is known to say: "That 2 (or more) people can make music together is proof of the existence of God.". Why? The connection outside of us. So many implications from this, which I've pondered incessantly for myself, in recent years. Now, another new place/thing/moment/whatever. Easy for me to zig amd zag in and through the zones where words are hesitant to follow. Can this still be conversation? You bet! Soon, you'll be able to purchase the evidence. Meanwhile, as our physical presentation is prettied up (evidenced in the post below), our metaphysical presentation is readying to join the (observable) dance. Kind of like a balanced diet, perhaps? It seems rather healthy, in any case.

The New SI Banner!

Did you ever go somewhere and hear a group you really liked and walk away wonder who were those great musicians?  That won't be us.  Not only will our music linger in your mind - but our name and contact information will too!  Now tell your friends! Looks like the first time this will be on stage is Aug 25th at the Stoltz Listening Room at the Avalon Theater in Easton MD.  Did you get your tickets yet?

Looking forward to going into the recording studio next week with Dave and Mike. The new CD is on the horizon, as is our  performance on Saturday the 25th of this month in the Avalon Theatre's Stoltz Listening Room. Best to reserve now (you are coming, aren't you?). The conversation continues!
