Second Service At The Vault
La Marie's

We moved inside for this one.  Good thing, as the temperature was in the blustery 40's.  It's a nice room.  A little boomy, but an old building is always fun.

David Bell talked to me about splitting the bill this night.  He's been able to play with Thunderbolt, because Tim is there to help him with the gear, but doing it all by himself is difficult.  We are there to support this guy because we believe in what he does.  I brought all the gear and we went for it.  Good crowd, anticipating David's return.  I played a set, then Dave played a set.

Mike and Connie (regulars and good people)  were celebrating their 2nd anniversary.  I went with the theme for the first few songs.  I was all over the place with the setlist, even though I had one dialed up on the tablet.  Shanelle wanted to sing a few, so we gave it a shot.

Beth came in, and we did our tunes.  Still working on some more, soon come.  A birthday girl crowd came in.  It was Becca's 21st, and they were on a mission (which included body shots).  I thought for sure they were going to fall into my gear, but some less wasted members of their party made sure it didn't happen.  We all sang "Happy Birthday" and Russell tagged it.  It's not often that you get a request for original music, but you play it when you do.

Always fun to play the Moon Roof on a Wednesday.  Happy Hour All Night brings a lot of folks who are ready to get down.  David Bell even showed up, and stayed all night.  More on that later.

Dave and I have spoken several times about people asking to sit in.  Good players will never ask, but will wait to be invited (and they usually are).  I have a hard time saying yes to someone I don't know.  You never know what to expect.  I actually got burned last year (which prompted the conversation with Dave).  That being said, Dave hasn't been able to perform solo since his hip surgery.  Loading all that gear is tough enough when you're healthy.  I invited Dave to play a few, and it was a blast.  People had been filing into the bar, so we had a good crowd.  I had a big ol' cheesy smile on the whole time, and I know he (and everyone else) enjoyed it.  After a short intermission, I picked it back up.

Moon Roof Bar

Got the call to provide PA for Brillig. Arlo Finch (a great singer-songwriter) hosted these Aussie folks, and needed sound reinforcement.  I humped some gear and got paid for it.  Check 'em out, Arlo as well.
