Well the time as come for the BlueShadow Band to Play its first gig of the year. In all honesty I planned it as a practice gig. The community center was able to take money at the door. The Band was playing for free. Its like when a new vessel is built there needs to be a shake down run to be sure all of the pieces are working. A few shaky starts, one or two weak endings. But for the most part some good playing. Pete (new on keyboards) had a goodnight. I was very pleased with Angie (vocalist). Her take on Midnight Train was great, but when she sang At This Moment she had the audience and the rest of the band wrapped. 
We finished the night with Walking on Sunshine. Determined not to have anyone sitting down to end the show, I went down to the dance floor to get everyone on their feet and Dancing.
For good measure I had Todd (trombone) flank the other side of the floor. It worked well this will be the way this song is always done.
As always the next practice will include a post gig meeting so we can discuss ways to improve the Band's performance. There is always room for improvement.
