This might be Major Major Major w/ Andy and Sarai (from yesterday's recording)

Side note: my Jams/Full directory now has over 65GB of 192kbps mp3. Apparently that's about 800 hours, or a bit over a month if played continuously. Maybe I should try listening to it all in order.

P.S. I just overhauled brainal.org yay.

NYC readers -- I'm playing with Decanted Youth at Pianos on Tuesday April 17th at 8pm. If you're reading this blog then you probably have an idea of our music, but if not there's a video of a previous show, or you can listen to any of the "rehearsal with sarai and andy" mp3 links throughout.

In 2016 I made this little sketch of a song (bonus trombone in there! woo), now I'm having fun revisiting/expanding it with Andy and Sarai, here's a new live version with re-recorded (and doubled) vocals added, woot. Also, trying to play drums while trying to sing is extra fun.
