Today we were practicing to go out to the beach, so I tried to do as many songs as I could with as little reference to the charts as possible. After having over 700 songs of options, cutting it down to the small pool of songs I know well enough to play without reading chords or lyrics felt super restricting.
I was still able to fill a good 2 hours, could probably have done a little more even, but my focus waned. Turns out I mostly remember songs I learned a long time ago, and ones that I put a lot of focus on in the recent past: a lot of Ka’au Crater Boys, some Iz, and several tracks from my 2025 performance set. Getting to the beach this week sounds complicated, but I’m still hopeful I can make it work. Maybe Sunday?
