  The very first set of the year had some
fresh starts and surprises for me as well
as for the folks who tuned in.

  It wasn't exactly a debut, but I was very happy
to re-introduce my Harmonica Synthesiser to everyone.
I've barely begun to exploit this thing's possibility
of adding whole new worlds of sound to my arrangements.

  I was also very pleased to add a looper into a song
live for the first time.  I was able to add whole new
eldritch dimensions of Evil into "Party With The Elder 
Ones" as the rhythm guitar part could play on it's
own.  Bwahahahahaaaaa!  

  I also got to a rare thing: an instant debut.  
If a song that's not currently in the repertoire 
is strong enough in my memory and accessible to 
my fingers and musical knowledge, I can sometimes, 
with just a little help (like the lyrics in front 
of me) pull it off for a request.  That was 
(Bob Seger's) "Katmandu".

 Excellent requests, a good representation of my
originals, and some new tricks made for a great
first set of 2025.

  Thanks to everyone who tuned in.  The next one 
will be Thursday Jan 16th.
