Minutes for February 13th

Attendees: Victor, David, Dev, Martin, Meli, Mary Beth (Terry and Glenn were out of town)

All there minus two. We did some Victor-led twisting and swaying, then he guided us in the Eye of the Needle meditation, I think. I nearly fell asleep on my stool a number of times…but that seemed to be a good thing. I needed some brain rest.

Then, we practiced the beats to thrak with clapping and feet (standing up). Then, with guitars, also standing up. Victor built on the song for me since I didn’t know all the parts. Breakthrough for Martin. Some progress for me. Ideally, with thrak, your feet tap at the right times AND you play at the right time. I could do the feet and rhythm standing rocking from one foot to the other, but not while sitting and just tapping my foot.

We all did pretty well. I was glad that I had listened to thrak in my car all week.

Toward the end of the meeting, we gathered and talked briefly. We tentatively set up practice and rehearsal times to get ready for our March 4th gig in Lowell. Maybe next Sunday, probably Tuesday 2/22, and then Sunday 2/28, 3/1, and 3/2.
