a Solution....???

I have come with an idea that could save the day when it comes to the recording issue of the new tunes. And that is, to have the gig of the 18th of March recorded on a Multitrack System by the same engineer. The Whole thing is a complete gamble, but, what can I do??.
Last rehearsal was productive, and damn! those tunes sounded great, I wish I could have the extra cash to afford the studio time and post production expenses!!!!
The thing is, if the gig goes well, and the recording is well done, I might as well have a good, very good recording of new pieces in front of an audience. (or not!)That in itself is worth a try........
so we'll see.....
I other departments, advancing in the writing and compositions for the ROMAN[us] Project has proven slow, I found my self lacking creativity and stuck with silly ideas for piece and my lack of manouvering inside softwares...it's frustrating me!!!
big sigh!
