nocturnal twins *

we were making the last of the weeks communications, before jonathan returns to his alter ego, he gave the go ahead on the name of the ensemble, now we are semi-officially known as "nocturnal twins". the story of the name's origin can be found in post "celena"

over the weekend, jonathan took one of the practice songs, and overdubbed a break in the middle.

here is that altered version.

makes perfect *

practiced thursday night, didn't plug in the electric, just played acoustic. we hadn't practiced since august, so we only tried one new one, a cover by lucinda williams.

here are the three tunes.

1. release (your love)
by verne a.
this is getting closer to where it is supposed to be, sounds good with acoustic when theres only two of us playing.

2. essence
by lucinda williams
this is the first time we tried to play this, wasn't too bad. see where this is going next time, this could be a vehicle for jonathan to blow over a verse and chorus making with the single notes .


3. i don't want to do it
by bob dylan
jonathan is right, this needs to be done slower. without a drummer its harder for me to regulate, i will try next time.
