One of the best things to happen so far in 2012 is that my friend C and I were able to perform a 35 minute set at a coffeehouse. He and I don't often get to sing or perform together (time and distance being the limiting factors), but we managed to put in more time rehearsing and preparing for the coffeehouse event over the past four weeks than we probably have in 5 years. It was really great and re-ignited the fire of music writing and recording. We made a goal for ourselves to get together once a month to continue collaborating on new ideas. I almost forgot what a rush it is to prepare and finally perform for an audience...it's really the culmination of a lot of hard work for a musician. And it went really well.
