It&#8217;s just not a room designed for that kind of sound, and you have to try to work with a specific type of equipment which is, also, designed for a different kind of sound. The two-piece band was game to try, and that&#8217;s all anyone can ask of rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll in the end.<\/p>\n<p>Well, in the real end, I&#8217;m just pleased we can help create these experiences for students. I didn&#8217;t produce a lot of musical performances at 20-years-old, but this group of burgeoning young television pros are doing it. It&#8217;s nice to have nice things. And this is, if you don&#8217;t count a few things I&#8217;ve just happened to walk past outdoors last fall, the first live music I&#8217;ve heard in a year. We all deserve a little live music. You choose the genre. You deserve as much at this point.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/blog\/banners\/bannerbloomingtonbike.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Oh we had a lovely bike ride today. I messed up the route, as is my habit. But it all worked out perfectly, as is the nature of bike rides. We got in an easy 20 miles, and I think I could have gone a smidge harder if necessary. Most of it ranged over our familiar base route, but we did add in an extra few roads just for fun. <\/p>\n<p>Because I knew that section would only have four cars (See? Total mess out there.) on it this evening, that&#8217;s where I took my pictures.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankee liked this one, because my shadow made an appearance.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/mar21\/mar29.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>That wasn&#8217;t what I was really going for, but it took a while for me to understand the sun, I guess. <\/p>\n<p>There are two big turns on that road, and the county has seen fit to put big signs on the road noting them. I knew they were up ahead, and knew that was the picture I wanted. I missed the first one. Nailed the second.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/mar21\/mar30.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Next time we&#8217;re on that road, if she hasn&#8217;t dropped me by then, I&#8217;ll try to get a video in that same spot. <\/p>\n<p>The next time we&#8217;re on that road she&#8217;ll be in peak form and will be well and truly dropping me. So I guess that means I&#8217;ll have to get stronger and faster, too, just so I can make personal memes.
