you go to war the the army you got, not the army you wish for

its funny how things can be going well but are never perfect. right now we don’t have a regular bass player. matt’s finally making a decent living on the road and i gotta wish him well. since last summer i gave up the idea of having the “perfect” instrumentation. its more fun to work with what you got, although that means that i might be playing some tuba for a while. this (future) version of the group is probably more like a brass/dixieland band and adding a trumpet could be fun.

“you go to war the the army you got, not the army you wish for”

all i know is we gotta play, i miss it and we will have new music soon. until i figure out what the most likely instrumentation is, i’ll probably write in a 4-5 line c score and orchestrate it in rehearsals.
sometimes working out the orchestration in rehearsal leads to trying things that you thought would never work in your head. the new pieces are starting to take shape. there is a whole bunch coming and we whatever form we take in our next show, it will be unique.
