Final Rehearsal in Stevie Ray's Comedy Storage Room?

Hey everyone, I just wanted to say I thought we had a good rehearsal today. A lot of good reflection and feedback, particularly on ladder. I was really happy with the singing stuff we did. ESPECIALLY since I single-handedly derailed our last performance ( I took the train and ALL of the passengers screaming off the track on that one. It was quite spectacular.)

Really cool having Michael there, because the music, along with his & Jason's direction, really opened our eyes to new, fun ways to deliver those lines (Mary, if I'm not mistaken you sparked that). I was really enjoying it and wanted to keep doing it. For crying out loud, I went horse on one of those final lines. Been a long time since I was in choir.

Remember, snap on the boom-CHA.

Let the rhythm take control, let the rhythm take your soul.

And as Depeche Mode told us, enjoy the silence. (Or fill it with a bunch of words, as long as it all fits in before the next person sings).

Kudos y'all!

Oh yeah, and no well's (which is NOT the same thing as no Wells. That'd be me, and I'm all about, "Yeah, Wells!")

If I catch myself beginning the blues with a "Well" I am just going to turn it into a blues song about you, Wells. Because that would be funny and, to be honest, you bring me down.*

*That is a lie.

Adam, the next time you go on stage to sing the blues, and happen to notice a table, ladder, and chair arranged on the stage, don't be distracted.

Here are some other things you could sing about if you find yourself hitting the mic with hearty "well":

Welsh

Weld

Welfare

Welterweight

Wellington, New Zealand

but of course, I imagine anyone of us course could expect to have an uncustomary, uncharacteristic, awkward, and outright freaky amount of affection showered on them if they did a blues version of "Welcome to the Jungle."
