Alford Gig VI

As always, however, the spirit of reinventing the wheel had taken hold in our band. The first sign of this malady appeared when we had spent a while figuring out where Steve should be located on stage so that he could change from keyboard to guitar without cramping either him or the rest of the band. That had taken a while. So it shouldn’t have come as too much of a surprise to find us, at 5 minutes to eight, all huddled together, as bands often do in such moments, undergoing a collective self doubt in our ability to play the first song. With a minute to go, we decided to put another song in its place.
