It feels like a lifetime...

... and yet only minutes...

For many reasons, this blog has been neglected, in fact it was never fully formed in the first place!

Someone asked me at the Weave magazine launch party if we'd been together for about a year, as it must say around the web or in the grapevines. I said, well yes, our first show was in November of 2007, but it has been such a weird year. With both of our instrumentalists going through severe illnesses that took them out of commission for about 2 months a piece, Wytold finishing up his PhD comps during one of these illnesses, myself re-entering the 8-5 workforce, well, needless to say it's been a bit nutty. So while it's only been about 8 months of actual BL-together-now time (and at least a month of that was spent getting ready to go into and being in the studio), yes, I guess it has been a year.

Still, it was 2 months to this week since our last show. That seems outlandish to me, it has been worth the wait. I sometimes take for granted that I work with two of the most talented instrumentalists in the city. They outshine themselves every time we play, though, and it is an honor. Even in our practices, there is a magic that I am blessed to be a part of.

So, with all that said, maybe we will still acquire a drummer one of these days! It seems predictable that it will happen sooner than later, with our CD coming out shortly before this acquiescence.

Thanks for those who came out to Club Cafe and YIV. Let's celebrate our year anniversary this Tuesday, 11/11, Veterans Day, 9pm at the Bloomfied Bridge Tavern!

Peace,
