Timing is everything. On the de-facto Christmas session we ended our set with Stormy Weather. Yup, we missed our timing and instead of Ain’t She Sweet, we were complaining about lost love during Christmas. That’s okay, the proprietor told everyone to get up in turn and sing some carols. To lighten the mood. The mood we darkened.

Otherwise! It was a great session. Chatted with friends, complained about family and passed around a puppy like a mildly warm potato. Yes, we brought our brand new puppy to the show. And she handled it like a champ. She thought all the music was good and the people with treats were even better. She has her priorities straight.

Next time, we’ll be better timed. Timing is everything.
