May 19: Mini Band Practice

Four of the six members of Reset Button met Wednesday for practice. We hadn't gotten together since the fall, and even though it was just the four of us (one more than our Saturday impromptu practice), it was still delightful. We played through a bunch of new songs that our alto player arranged (including KK Cruisin from Animal Crossing, a game I've never played but it is a great song, and two from Persona 5, which I also have not played, but the music seems good!), my new song (which seemed to go well), and a few my husband did, almost all video game music, our specialty. It was good to get back in the rhythm  (literally and figuratively) and next week we hope to gather all 6 of us to have a full band practice! I also need to start thinking about potential gigs for us to play. Not that we are in this to play gigs (just getting together to play music is enough for us) but I definitely enjoy sharing the music we create with others. I will probably pursue Bit Bar again first. It is an arcade bar that is a perfect setting for our video game music, and they have an outdoor patio where we have played in the past which is perfect for the pandemic. I will also likely try to organize another "Klop Fest" this summer, featuring a few bands in our backyard with food and games. And maybe I will look into a few other outdoor music venues in the area. It's exciting and delightful to think about the musical possibilities for the summer.

With delight,

♥Jamie
