Every song is a gem.
We covered Hymn 43 & Locomotive Breath. Those were in our list of "don't rehearse, just toss them in now & then, and see what happens" songs.
Guys were quite shocked one night when I tossed out LB, then suddenly quit playing piano, picked up a flute & played the solo.
My tone wasn't great throughout, but I played the thing pretty faithfully.
Big fun!
I saw them twice. Once, they played in a big high school fieldhouse in my hometown of 70,000 people. They played there instead of Chicago! We were 4th row center!!!
