Practice Session 2008/11/08

Working directory for the TG practice sessions on Saturday, 2008-11-08. This session was held in Suite 115 of $COMPANY, in the lobby area. There are four armless chairs in this area, two comfortable chairs, power, and WiFi. Who could ask for more? Unfortunately there's no projector, so we may have to move into a conference room next time.

Several songs at the beginning of the session were (stupidly) not recorded. The track titled "mil-dawn 1" is a complete run-through of Millennium's Dawn, but it really needs to be combined with "mil-dawn 3", which is a better version of the last two verses and final choruses.

Lunch (chicken curry) was catered by the wonderful Colleen Savitzky, assisted by the band's webmistress-in-training, Chaos, who stayed for the afternoon session.

Note that some tracks are missing; these correspond to pieces that are of interest only to band members. Unless otherwise noted, takes with a full title are the good ones.

If you're starting out here, you really ought to go check out Sunday first. We got better.
