Kenneth's exciting news this week is that he has finally found the musical outlet he has been lacking since we left his old band-mates in Salt Lake City. That's right, a new wave of musical innovation is cresting on the Boston horizon! While it is true that the whole band has yet to rehearse together (their percussionist/keyboard player has been unavailable due to an anthropology event in NYC) the first few jam sessions have been very promising.
Though not a keyboard player by trade, Kenneth has been flexing his synth muscles, and rocking out with some crazy-fat-seventies-analog sounds (thanks to his new m-audio keyboard, and a library of software vintage synthesizers)!
Mike has a new found friend for life in his shiny black jazz bass. He is a newcomer to this side of the microphone, but brings a lifetime of listening experience. Any musician can tell you, the most important part of playing music, is listening to music. His finely tunes ears are already telling his fingers what to play, with exciting results.
Chelsea brings years of piano training, and a voracious appetite for rhythm to the party! Though she has yet to play with the band, they have already been missing her incredible beats. As both boys have participated in drum circles with Chelsea at home, and around the campfire, they know what she has to offer, and eagerly await a full jam session.

And what a rockin' jam session it was, so rockin' that the neighbors started poundin' the ceiling (especially when we got to the Middle Eastern jam portion and Kenneth hit the keyboard pedal)...
I hope you save a spot for an accordion player. I don't want to brag but I can get down with that instrument! (They called me magic fingers back in jr. high)
I could be a total asset to the band.
so here's the question: are the missionaries going to come over and jam with you too? i hear they've already practiced a few of their guitar skills at your house...
I want to see some more blogging!!!!!
