Two new songs, "Mmmphony" and "Girly Shoes Blues". The first one's a medley i worked on for months, going through many iterations as i tried and rejected different songs (notably "Into the Mmm-bop", "Mmm-bop Moon", and "If You Don't Mmm-bop By Now"). Each time i practiced, in the back of my mind i bemusedly wondered why i was working so much on a song i would play only once. It felt just too weird and obscure...i intended to play it only at the Hotel Utah, which has the highest concentration of songwriters, plus an affinity for the bizarre. But then a strange thing happened. I performed it somewhere else almost by accident, and the crowd loved it. And then the same at another venue. I have no idea whether it will make my concert. "Girly Shoes Blues" has shown itself to be a crowd hit - i'm amazed at how ready audiences are to goofily make the "sound" of a porcupine. I didn't think it had any chance to make the concert, but maybe i was wrong...
