annathepiperAs per last night's promise, here's a very quick Jam Report post just to talk at least in passing about our last Jam, which was on the 30th.
And minimal, since I was very low on brain and since we were also short![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sutures1. technoshaman and cflute did make it, though (and are Heroes of the Revolution for bringing pie when it wasn't their turn), and so we pretty much kept it mostly instrumental.
Of course, this has been standard procedure for all of the recent Jams at the Murk, but this time it was even more so since I had pretty much no brain for much in the way of song selection. I therefore let Callie and Dara drive what we were doing.
Dara played through updated versions of the pieces she's been working on and handed out updated copies as well, to reflect her various notational changes. We touched briefly on the Heather Alexander triad of instrumentals we've been playing with as well, but ugh, that was difficult to do for me. D minor is hard for me to play even when I'm up to speed, and when my brain is mush, well.
We also touched briefly on "Trois Navires de Ble", but this time we did it in A just to see if I could sing it in that key and whether Dara liked it better for flute playing purposes. She did. I think we'll keep it there. She's still giving me dirty looks about changing keys on "Mari-Mac", though. ;)
We decided to do another three-week interval as well, to account for Rustycon being this weekend and Conflikt coming up too. (I am dubious about my ability to make it to either, but Dara may show!) So this means that our next Jam is going to be the 20th! There are rumblings as well about Glenn and Callie hosting this time, so as to allowouisel to join us, but we'll see if that is definite as we get closer to the time.
The pie was chocolate cream and very tasty. But next time it'll be our turn to provide the pie.
