A band I admire once told me that they always take all their new songs out on the road and play them in front of audiences to find out if the song will work ... and it gives the opportunity to work out the bits so you wind up with a song with legs. 

I played a benefit show a couple of weeks back and debuted a new tune.  It got recorded on a Flip ... and even though I screwed up in a couple of places, it went OK and I learned a few things to work on to improve it.  Since I'm playing my RFT, thought I'd share it here.

I thought u played it well. Sound was tight n singing strong! Not easy to do!
