Listen to Split Window perform Stray Valet from the AvonLive concert September 15, 2022.
I suppose it's worth mentioning that this was the first time we performed this song and Lucas and I were making it up as we went along. That isn't an excuse, though. Making it up as we go along is how we do horn parts for this band. As we play each song in more shows our horn parts start to sound more like written parts. However we make it a point to mix things up a bit every show, making up new melodic lines and rearranging parts, even for the songs we've been playing for years. It's more interesting that way and keeps us on our toes.
