So after a long time of talking about it, and less time practicing for it, the One Night Jam went off pretty well. (I'll post the video links once those are all up.) Originally, I had committed to only doing one song. In fact, a song that we've already done publicly before.
On Saturday, as I was running through the song again, it suddenly hit me that while everyone was pushing themselves to try something new, or go a bit farther than they normally do, I wasn't. At best, I was running in place. At worst, I was going to deliver a cardboard cutout effort.
So, I decided to do one more song. In the end, it worked out well enough. The effort seems to have made my already sore throat a whole lot worse though. But hey, you can't tell what you're made of, or how far you can go unless you test your limits, right? It was well worth the risk.
Update: the direct embed(s), plus a link to the most of the night's videos

Bonus thought: I've always said, if you have a gift to share, share it. I'm glad to be blessed with such a great group of people to share it with. Thanks to everyone who made it possible, everyone who was able to make it out, and everyone who would have been able to make it out if I mentioned it sooner (or at all for that matter..haha!).
