The whole show can be wrapped up in one word: SUCCESS
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, to everyone that made it out to the show. I also want to acknowledge those people that posted on myspace and sent out their own e-mails advertising the show. I've always been a firm believer in the power of numbers and it really did pay off last night. Even if you didn't get a chance to come to the show, your continued support of this project is greatly appreciated.
The show started off with my good friend Craig Kotfas. Craig and I have been friends and fellow song writers for about 8 years. Craig released his album, Best Case Scenario, a few years ago and did a stint with his band, So Sad Robot. He got every one's attention with his witty songs like, Make-up Sex and Uncle Satan along with his more personal songs about the trials and tribulations of growning up white and middle class. Craig is really great and we will be hosting more shows with Craig in the future.
Right after the 6:55 Missouri Pacific number 909 passed the back 40 of The Mean Eyed Cat, Six Sons of a Gun hit the stage. It was the first time that I had stood at the front of the stage with a guitar in a while. It was a great feeling to be up there and I was happy that now my load-in time has been cut in half, since I don't have to carry all those drums anymore.
We started out with one of my favorite tunes by the legendary Buck Owens, My Heart Skips a Beat, which in all actuality was the first time that we played that song as a band, minus the quick rehearsal at sound check. Right after that first tune, I knew that we could put the show on autopilot and just let the music flow. I was much more relaxed than I thought that I would be and I only broke one string on the second to last song in the first set, which is an accomplishment since I usually break at least two in rehearsal.
Everyone in the crowd was GREAT the response to the performance was AMAZING. I have to also thank the Little Sixes for coming up on the stage for the final song to cut a rug with us. It's always nice to appreciated with dancing girls.
I personally want to say thank you to the band members, without their involvement this project wouldn't exist. Each of them did a great job and worked on the music and really helped me bring my vision of this band to the stage and for that I am truly grateful.
Looks like the whole gang will be celebrating hump day again on Wednesday Feb. 20th same place, same time. We are going to be working on some new music, so please come back by, grab a beer, sit under the oak tree and enjoy some great live music
Thanks!
Six Sons of a Gun!
