Top of the morning everyone. What a week we just had. Shows in Charlotte, New York, Washington DC, Boston. Some great shows, one klunker (for me at least). DC was one of the best shows we’ve done in a long time. Crowd was insane, band was tight. Same with Boston, NYC, and Charlotte. A pretty decent week in all honestly
After about three months of rehearsing, we finally played The Beatles’ “Abbey Rd” medley (Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, The End.) It’s something I always wanted to do, and was so excited when the band decided to learn it. When we finally played it in DC, I felt like we finished a marathon. It sounds MEGA!! I love it.
Took some nice walks around NYC. Griff actually lived in the Chelsea hotel for a bit in the 80′s (the rock troubadour that he is), so he had some cool stories. Saw some great old friends in DC and Boston. If you get a chance in DC, go get a burger at Good Stuff Eatery. Amazing.
Griff and I actually have done a bit of writing together recently. Not sure where some of it’ll end up, but we did do a little 60 sec quasi-instrumental, modern Beach Boys type tune for submission for a Chrysler ad. Keep the fingers crossed.
A day off outside Richmond today. Rest of the band is gone, but I’m going with the crew to King’s Dominion to get our amusment park on. Will share some pics and vid later. Feel like Clark Griswold. First ones here!
