It's a little after midnight and I just returned home. Robert Plant is howling from the other room, as I turned the on the tv and "The Song Remains the Same" happened to be on.
I did have a marvelous time tonight and learned some new things, one of which is drinking a little Jack Daniels before you sing, really opens your vocal chords up if you've had/have a cold, really it works... A younger highschool kid opened up for me at about 9:45 and of course all his friends were there and of course they all filed out of the music room after his set (along with him) and as I sat and listened to his entire performance I found that kind of rude but then they're only in highschool so I can't expect much more...a few people did stick around including one kid who listened to my whole set so there you go. Ken and Steve were there from Stone Mountain and it was great to see them again. I really felt tonight that after playing with the dead band to rooms with a hundred people, I've really retained the energy I experienced there and with the powerful LRBaggs pickup I use, I could almost hear drums behind me and in any case, conveyed all of that energy in my playing and it didn't make a difference that there were only a few people in the room. It is a really beautiful room to play in, with candles, about 8 couches, and several comfy chairs. I wish there was some way I could beam people in by satellite.
