Fresh off a 3-night run with Greg, I wanted to jot down a few of the highlights:
-Kenton joining us on drums Thursday and Saturday
-Tristan (of Break the Blue Line) sitting in on drums for a few tunes - he swears he's never heard before! - on Friday @ Joe Squared.
-Sitting in on electric guitar with Break the Blue Line for their second set on Friday night. Boy these guys can groove. Some tunes I sat back and strummed a little funky rhythm guitar, others they gave me the nod and I tried my best to hit some jazzy lead licks - the collective energy and musicianship was amazing - I was grinning like a kid gettin' dirty in the sandbox - especially tight was our take on the Meter's "Cissy Strut"
-Ravens winning (even though it was just preseason) added some great community energy to the Shanty on Saturday night. A request for some Beatles tunes led to a 1-2 punch of "Get Back" and "Dear Prudence" - Kenton added drums for the first time to my new song "Mindy". We joked our way through a "FreeBird" request, complete with singing riffs from the guitar outro, and wrapped up the night with a fun dance-off / sing-along to Greg's tune "Wednesday's Trash (Momma)".
Check out The Foxhole Prayers @ the 8 x 10 (for the first time!) Thursday Sept. 17th - doors 7:30pm opening for Zach Deputy - tickets are $8.
peace, Gwa
