Gigging

In case it's been lost in the jungle of all the other posts that have been made on this blog, Uncle Rico the Band is playing at a poolside party at the Elk's Club in Iowa City on Saturday night. I am so excited to be playing! We rehearsed twice last week (Monday and Wednesday) and rehearse for a final time tomorrow night. We will have gone through all three of our sets twice after tomorrow night's rehearsal. Randy, who is our Gary's (guitar/vocals) brother, has been running our sound through the PA to get things ready for Saturday. I have been especially happy with the way Alex's Yamaha electronic drums have sounded coming through the PA. The PA speakers are set up in what I would call a living room while the four of us play our instruments in what I would call a bedroom. Previously, I would use my cell phone to record our rehearsals with my cell phone in the same room as our instruments. However, at Wednesday night's rehearsal, I put my phone in the living room with the PA speakers. I like what I hear when I listen to the recording.

These are the songs we are playing.
