John Flanagan and The Begin Agains

This one took a while to get hap­pen­ing. I’d been in con­tact with John Flana­gan for a few weeks try­ing to arrange a time and a place when every­one was avail­able to get a moment of the ground. So, of course, the decided morn­ing ended up cold and rainy. The best spot was then inside, next to the heater. Con­di­tions were perfect.

With the band by his side (Jane Pat­ter­son, Andy Zito and Mark Zito), they ended up as basi­cally jam­ming from song to song with the cam­era left run­ning. Play­ing a mix of orig­i­nals and cov­ers, the time let them pre­pare for some upcom­ing shows try­ing out songs old and new.

Before know­ing it, a cou­ple of hours had passed and they’d run through about 7 songs. The time had come to call it a day.

Thanks to John, Jane, Andy and Mark for some fine tunes on a wet win­tery Sunday.

Also, apolo­gies for the cam­era issues on The Lighthouse’s Tale. All for lo-fi and indie, but it’s a lit­tle too iffy on that one. Though Jane’s fan­tas­tic vocals made it wor­thy for a showing.

Till Next Time.
