What a great time! Thanks to all of you that joined us for our CD release party!
For those of you that missed id, we kicked off at 8pm, with an acoustic set. I played my old national, Joel played the doghouse and John played a snare with brushes. Real minimal, and exactly what we did on Amy VanSingel's 9th Alley Blues show on KNBA. We played some old standards and a couple of songs from our new CD, including Glenn Highway Blues, Long Way Home and Cold Cold World.
From there we settled into some electric instruments and played the rest of the CD. It was great to see Patti Greene, Gary Lamar, Mr Whitekeys, Todd Glazer, Kyle, a.k.a. Minnesota Slim, Sherman, Steve Pradell and Veronica Page. They all sat in with us, and kept the party in high gear. When the music stopped somewhere around 2 a.m. I think we were all played out and ready to face the raging snowstorm outside!
The most overwhelming part of the night was the huge turnout of people that came to wish us well and buy a copy of the CD. Boo Rody jumped in to help get everyone a CD that wanted one, and gave me a chance to visit with about 80 people. Every little bit of positive feedback is appreciated, and validates what we set out to do from the start- record some honest original blues songs that captured the feel of our club set. Thanks to all of you for your vote of connfidence!
