hehe..
well first of all, just so you know about the last video where i am playing audrey hepburn's favorite, the acoustics in my room do not help to get a very good sound on those high notes. it's a little vibrato, and down right scary. i promise it sounds better live.
any way. i practiced yesterday with the IVN band (spanish church)!!! it was so great for two reasons. first of all, they were very gracious with me speaking spanish back to them. i got some valuable vocabulary lessons, especially from a wonderful woman named Marina. in general i was able to follow most of what was said too. thanks rosetta stone ;)
secondly, they didn't exactly have music for me to read and play with them. i just had to experiment after listening to them play and then adding either some extra notes, or playing the melody. that sort of on-the-fly experience was a lot of fun. embarrassing at first, don't get me wrong, but i was slowly getting the hang of it. i also made sure they didn't set up a mic for me this time. though apparently Raul says i must have one for next time. aye carumba!
here's the kicker. the final song on the set list, Un dia a la vez. can't quite get away from that song, eh? love it.
una hora mas. 83 total.
