The CIA

Tomorrow we play for the CIA. No, not that CIA--but the Culinary Institute of America. Personally, competing against food for attention, even while madly beating taiko drums, is a lost cause. The food always wins. We've been working real hard for this show, though. It's an opportunity to work toward something, and we've been composing a new song that we're going to perform for the first time, and we've also been polishing old songs that could use some performance experience. I just wish I had my Mokuyobi solo down, since I've been #$%^ing it up every time I try to pull it off in rehearsal. Sigh. Someday I'll have a solo for that song that I'm proud of.
