"A Sane Woman" - Greg sings a ballad
'tis a rarity indeed, but here's a video of yours truly singing and playing bass parts a the Paul Koors Band concert in October, 2019. There's a fun jam at the end of the song, too.

features a rare vocal performance by Greg.
Well done Greg.
I noticed you reaching up to the machine heads a couple of times. Were you having issues with the tuning, or were you doing deliberate tweaking mid-song? All done in a very cool manner whichever it was.
I really enjoyed that tune, Greg. You've got great vocals and playing skills.
By the look on your face at the end, you must have been very proud. It is a great accomplishment.

Re: "A Sane Woman" - Greg sings a ballad
Thanks, fellas!
I think I was "relieved" more than anything, having gotten through it without forgetting the words. I enjoy singing, so perhaps I'll do more. I appreciate the encouragement...
As far as "tuning-while-playing" is concerned, if I know for sure a certain string is out, and I can do it without too much interruption in the performance, I'll do it. It's risky, because you can make things worse if you're not careful...
If I was playing a solo tune, I'd probably stop, tune then resume. If I'm just jamming, then I'll do it in mid-jam, maybe even make the note I'm tuning a focal point for a moment so that I can hear thet it is correct before moving on.

Thanks for that extra detail of some of the realities of performance Greg.
