The pictures are up for last night's TestingTesting.

The music people used to listen to in their living rooms was live. Musicians would drop by and play with their friends. Music has come a long way — I'm not sure that it's all been good. Or fun. So much of the music today has a slickness about it that has removed all the fun and spontaneity from it. It's just another business.

One of the reasons we started webcasting TestingTesting from my living room was to put the fun back into the music. Mistakes are allowed and playing well with others is encouraged. We have a special guest for each show and the House band plays along, or not, as it strikes everyones fancy.

Monday's show was a classic TestingTesting. Musicians having fun playing music. Listen to it. When was the last time you went to a concert or show and heard the musicians laughing? Four guitars, two mandolins, a fiddle, a set of congas, and a living room.

I made bread before the show and we ate it after the show with some glasses of wine, enjoying a beautiful summer evening. I can't imagine a finer evening of music.
