Rubicon was a lot of fun - I played a new bluesy tune on the resonator, and then did a couple of other original songs with a full-on backing track. We've never played with a backing track before, but I thought it was pretty fun. The songs I did (Guitar Lovin' Man and Silver and Gold) are both pretty upbeat and really need the drums and bass to get the feel across, so I think it worked well. It also gave me a chance to fire up the Tele and do some nice solos.

Fall is almost upon us, although it's still 90 degrees and wet here in Orlando. I've been working on polishing up some of the new songs, largely in preparation for making my backing tracks for Rubicon as solid as possible. Hopefully you'll hear all that work before too long!
