Well hello to you all, I hope you put to use that extra hour of sleep you got this weekend. I did, that's why I'm writing the blog so early. Anyway, let’s get right to it.
This week’s show: [The Hitchin' Post - 8:30pm to 11:30pm Friday Night 11-12-10] I hope to see you all there!
Next: On to the PPOTW. This week’s Pet Peeve goes out to all of the continuing negative press being given to Loud Pipes on Motorcycles. My take on it is - I've been riding scoots now for over 35 years (Harleys for about 20 years) Jap Bikes can be loud and Harley's can be louder. I personally would like to have a dime for every time I personally cracked that throttle open and some dumb ass opened their eyes at me long enough and spared my life to live another day. But not like any other annoyance, this one goes away in about 10 seconds – so get over it already.
On to Saturdays show review. We were at Gordy's in Damascus. It was like being back home again for the band. And of course we had to partake in some of those "finger lickin’ good chicken wings". Priceless! Let me say this - so many of the venues that we play have food available and a menu (a few still don't) but I personally like my Gordy's wings the best. And they are still very reasonably priced. Thanks Pat for making us feel "Right to home" again!
The show kicked off at exactly at 8pm. The crowd was light for the first set but by 10pm the place was full. It always makes you wonder if you suck or not when your crowd doesn't show up to watch ya. Fortunately we proved the latter.
We still are making adjustments to the sound system and we finally feel comfortable with a sound between the "big guns and the little guns" sort of right in the middle. The only thing we have not modified is DD's sound as he uses the same rig for any venue. The bigger gigs we still do kick it up a notch and will continue to do so. KW does have a stacker and a Les Paul he does like to still play it from time to time.
So by the third set we had a visitor come up and set in. It was none other than our very own Susie from the now infamous Blue J's. And just like the days of old, we sounded sweet. Ahh you gotta love that Susie, we had to twist her arm but we did talk her into doing four tunes with us. Nice job Susie, and once again, our thanks you.
See, if you missed the show this week - you missed history being made once again. That was the first time in almost four years that I got to do some live stage music with Ms. Susie. (Ahh ya gotta love her)
The overall night's performance rating for the show was in the high 8's for sure.
So in Closing have a great week and remember this next week as it will include Veterans Day on Thursday. Do something nice for our Veterans as they give their lives every day to help protect yours.
Next Saturday it's back up to Dean's in Studio's 1 and 2. Wish us luck as we continue work on the next album – “Back to Basics”
Have Great Week, be safe, peace and love,
Mikee^^Dee
