Learning how to do this

T

This was the best song on an hour and a half set that my son filmed for me at TRiP on Thursday night. The rest were way off to my ear, anyway. You also couldn't see Craig or the bass player Richard and there was only a peek of Betsy. The sound was way off. Norm's guitar was too loud, Oleeta and Nancy's vocal mics were too low. Craig and Betsy couldn't hear the rest of us. This is a learning curve. I'm going to start now standing out front to hear where we are before we start each time. The sound guys we will encounter won't know what our strengths and weaknesses are or who's going to do what in the songs. Had Ben been there, he probably would not have been heard over the wrong balance of things. You couldn't hear Betsy's solo again.
