Our assignment - the song Bonfire by local singer-songwriter Alex
Forest. Definitely out of our comfort zone, working on a brand new (to
us) song without being able to gather for regular rehearsal or work
sessions. <br />
<br />
Fortunately we have our wizard, Dan Thompson, who
worked hard on adapting the song to our talents and aesthetic, and made
it possible for us to record and video while staying safe! <br />
<br />
Enjoy!</div>

They recorded our set and mixed it down for us and we're thrilled with the final product.

We're so glad to be able to present some of our newer songs (Little Pictures, Just Around the Corner) which we've not had much success recording live. See them all on our <a href="http://guineapigsmusic.blogspot.com/p/videos.html">Video Page</a>.

We had a blast playing a short, all-original set at <a href="http://www.ivoryrestaurantct.com/">The Ivory Restaurant & Pub</a> in Deep River. Top notch sound system, a big and enthusiastic crowd, and sharing the stage with five other great acts as part of the monthly <i>Ivory Sessions</i>. <br /><br />Much thanks to friends and family who tagged along!<br />
