Last night the men of Cloud Shepherd convened at SF's venerable Luggage Store Gallery to play our first gig in months.
Things started off well, as I was enjoying playing the revamped Cloud Kit. We dove into a piece featuring alto sax, Cloud Kit, and theremin. After a time, though, I started to feel the absence of Brian, who was not able to make the show due to logistical snafus. What started as a gap gradually intensified into a chasm in my mind, as Brian's bass playing always provides me with an anchor. Scary stuff!
Anyway, we got through our abbreviated set and beat a hasty retreat. Ah, well. Improvised Music is tough!
