Working with click track

This week we put our individual work on the line.  After spending hours and hours individually working at home with click tracks tonight's practice put that hard work to the test.  We have already established a base time for each of the folklore songs and have been practicing to that time.  When we came together thursday night we all played together, headphones on, for the first time and........
Wow, it went really well.  Discovered that each song has a unique feel when played straight up together, adding the click track forced us to stay in time and in turn changed the feel of the song.  Not in a bad way but in a new realization way :-)
We found out that the more we play together, headphones on, the better our time will be come studio time and the more relaxed the songs will become.  Trying to get that live feel and good time to match up is the goal for now.
