Can’t Stop the Passion.

That’s the title of the new show. It’s time.

We had our first rehearsal recently… I’m very excited. I was so worried that I wouldn’t have enough material for the guys to go through. I was copying and photocopying 5 minutes before they arrived… my darling Bernie Senensky, wonderful Russ Boswell and my brother John Mele.

Of course the minute Johnny walks in the door he says, “Let’s eat”!!!! That’s kind of our thing. We have as much fun eating as we do playing!! (hahaha)

I feed the boys at every rehearsal as long as we have time. In fact Bern asked me this time, “Why do you feel the need to feed us all the time?” It’s the bonding thing. Fullfilling all the senses, and doing it together. I think it really makes everyone play better if they know there’s food at the end…sometimes, like today, before we even start!! (Although, I can’t eat before.)

Chocolate, of course, is the exception. ALWAYS chocolate.

So, got into the first song and by the time we got the form straight we were half way through… I had 8 songs ready to go and I think we only got through 3 or 4…but they’re going to be great!!!!
