Our tune, Crystal-T is a favorite of Chantay and Duo-Tones fans,

We do that one, too -
SPF4_Youtube_Crystal_T

one of the first 9 songs we learned in 2004 when we got together...

also a favorite of Unsteady Freddie

as far as train wrecks - yep we have all been there... it bugs you for the first few days, then you just try to make sure it doesn't happen again !

Yes, I've seen that YouTube video. It's one of the few Crystal-T videos out there. Yours is closer to the Chantay's version.

I also knew it was a favorite of Freddie's... another reason I wish I hadn't destroyed it

Yep,

That's the Urban Surf Kings way. The audience seems to enjoy it too. I look at mistakes like music's little joke...on me. It's saying relax, pay attention and have fun! I suppose that's easier to say when you've been playing for a long time. Sometimes trainwrecks can lead to some interesting ideas. Embrace & expect them.

I've done the above with endings that have gone wrong as well. It's people playing music and if you have a laugh you'll be fine.

As someone trying to get ready for my first open-mic night, you are all very encouraging. Now, if I can only arrange for all of you to be in my audience. Where do you all live?
