Gato Maestro at Nash Street Tavern. Probably our best ever gig in our latest incarnation of this band. This recording was created by the house sound maestro, Rainbow, and she did an excellent job. Ben chopped it up and made it indexable by tune. We missed a few songs of the evening due to the length of a standard audio CD. The second set got cut off before our hit 1-2-3, but we did get everything else. Also see the YouTube videos of this gig as well, they are quite good. A large nubmer of people we did not know came from out of nowhere to show up at Nash Street this evening and it gave us a bunch of energy and excitement. Guest performance by Lisa Timberlake on this one.
Gato Maestro at Paul's House. First time getting together with Chase after the winter holidaze. We are playin at Pauls house now and the room has quite a different feeling or vibe to it. We started working our way through the setlist to make sure everything was still intact for the March gig at Nash Street. Also note that we ran Feelin Good in the key for Lisa Timberlake to prepare for her singing it so it was out of range for Chase.
Gato Maestro at Kyle's Parent's House. We played a gig for Kyles Parents 50th wedding anniversary at their house. Lovely folks, some of Gatos biggest fans came out. For the first few songs we had feedback coming from some mystery source and it messed us up quite a bit. This gig was outdoors during a rainstorm, so theres a lot of wind noise. Apologies about that. Doyle Hodgin also sang James Taylors How Sweet It Is to his wife.
Gato Maestro at Nash Street Tavern. So good to be back playing at Nash Street tavern. This venue is kinda where we cut our teeth. I daresay this is one of our best shows ever performing out live anyway. This is the Angel mix. Angel is a sound engineer who works at Nash Street. She runs 2-3 mixes simultaneously when a band is playing. This is the From The Board mix that she captured, with individual microphones. It misses a few songs at the end of the set because of lack of space on the CDs she gave us.
Gato Maestro at Ben's House. Not sure what to say about this one. We are sounding more tight. It sounds a lot better when we meet more frequently, but not too frequently. Excellent solos on this session all around. Starting to dig down in the book for tunes that are less well known for when we do our gig.

Gato Maestro at Ben's House. A varied and composite production on this rehearsal after a long break. We had not gotten together to jam since September due to COVID and peoples life things. One thing led to another and it ended up being months before we reassembled the band. I blame a lack of gigs. Anyway, with no particular agenda in mind, we ended up having a super tight instrumental jam that went into Force of Nature. We hit a couple of the old standbys like All I Can See and Feel Like Makin Love. But most of our time was spent learning this Nina Simone song Feelin Good. This is a nice addition to our repitoire.

Gato Maestro at The Glass Jug Beer Lab. This is the second time the folks at the Glass Jug Beer Lab have been nice enough to let us come out. Ben was foolish in that he forgot to start the recorder until the second set was about to begin, but at least we got sets 2 and 3 recorded that night. There was a nice, focused group of about 40-50 people there all enjoying the tunes. We were extraordinarily quiet compared to some other shows we have played. I remember thinking that while playing and the recording definitely shows it. This is a live cut, meaning there are crowd noises surrounding all the songs, but they are still indexed such that you can find what you want.
Gato Maestro at Ben's House. Another one in prep for our gig at the Glass Jug on August 5th. Very very solid rehearsal. Covered a wide array of tunes, even the guitar tunes. We found confidence in our ability to execute these songs as a band in this rehearsal. Also we had a bit of fun messing around of course, too. Came up with the idea of an A Capella ending to Lean on Me.
Gato Maestro at Ben's House. We have a gig on 8/5, which is coming up fast. So we have started to dig back deeper into the book and look at tunes we have not played for quite some time. Aside from that, there was a fanastically funky jam with Justin groovin it out on the upper part of the neck on bass, Ben on melodica and Kyle going crazy on the drums, and of course Paul on the shaker. Groove girl and 1-2-3 are both insanely good in this particular rehearsal. Lets Stay Together needed a refresh on the string part for Ben as usual. We also do some unusual things on the form in Mercy Mercy Mercy.
Gato Maestro at Ben's House. Getting back in the swing of things. We are covering more material now, making our way back through the book. Obviously we have spent more time on In the Winelight because it is a difficult song to get exactly right. We had some good instrumental moments in this one though, for sure.

Gato Maestro at The Glass Jug Beer Lab. Back-to-back gig with the yearly gig we do at Black Creek. Things were much tighter for this performance, even considering it was on a Thursday night. Everybody was much happier with how we sounded on this particular evening, and luckily Ben managed to get it captured. A tropical storm had just passed through and it was very windy still as a result. Ben also had the recording volume set way too high for the first few songs. Paul had windscreens, but none that fit the Zoom H4n microphones.

Gato Maestro at Ben's House. This was our last rehearsal before two gigs that were coming up. We tried to get through as much of the book as possible and it turns out we did alright. Rather uneventful as a rehearsal. We just sorta went through all our material and executed. We cleaned up a few mistakes here and there, but mostly everything seemed pretty tight and ready to go.

Gato Maestro at Ben's House. This was a wide-ranging rehearsal. We all seemed to have kind of a rough time. We went around to various songs that we thought we would feel good about but ended up having to repeat them all quite a bit. The forms were rough and individual people had trouble with their parts sometimes. This rehearsal is a good example of why we rehease. Ben couldnt get the form right on Feel Like Makin Love to save his life. These experiences make us better as a band though, and if we spent all our time playing our favorites like 1-2-3 and Use Me and Get Loose, we would never improve. At least thats what Ben keeps telling himself.
