Not a great practice session; not horrible either. Had our singer, drummer (who played bass on one tune), stand up bass player (who also played some sax), other guitarist, and myself. Here I am wanting to focusing Gypsy Jazz instrumentals, but I find myself doing stuff like "When Will I Be Loved," "Goodnight Sweetheart," etc. Also did a jazzy "How High the Moon" for which my solo was less than stellar. I guess before we (or at least some of us) focus on the Gypsy Jazz stuff, I better learn how to solo... However, the other option is to try to get that other guitarist with us so that the current other guitarist with us might focus more on mandolin.
