One of the new original songs was a bit of a challenge, and a few songs in the past needed special attention: Cavity Search, Plumbing Song, and Grapefruit Diet come to mind, but nothing that I didn't handle.



For live performance, the only real challenges are fast tempos over a lengthy song, and when we did Albuquerque, that was rough, particularly after having played an entire show, and another 15-20 minutes of music before actually starting the song. Rough on Al's voice, too!
