Sincere thanks to all! That was the first time in YEARS that the Princess and I were out so late, especially at a bar!! Had the time of our lives! EVERYONE there was friendly and supportive and it was an environment that really makes you feel good. Spent time chatting with other musicians and sharing ideas. Listened to a couple INCREDIBLE bands. Had some VERY humbling compliments. It was just a wonderful evening.
It is easy to see from the videos that I am thoroughly enjoying myself, as were my bandmates. Our first show was just as perfect as we could have ever hoped for. Got an "invite" from one of the other, more established acts to join them on a "mini-tour" around Vegas at some other "locals" venues. Things are looking VERY good for us. Clearly we will get better as we play more shows. I tell you, had you heard some of these other acts, you would have been floored! I mean, these guys were simply remarkable. So tight. So entertaining. I learned a lot from them. I am flattered that they asked us to join them.
It's been a LONG time since I felt this way. The fire has been re-lit! All I can think of is playing again! I am really looking forward to it. I am looking forward to getting better. THAT will be the true pay off!!! |
