Can you cut the feed to monitor #2???

Local Music. I love it. Struggling musicians on the cusp of making it singing their hearts out to the fans that knew them when. Molly introduced me to the muscial stylings of a Miss Wendy Colonna and took me to the Saxon Pub to see her. It was a first for both, as I have never been to the Saxon, and I was really impressed with the acoustics.

A cocky little scotsman I know who attempted music management of a local band once introduced them with the phrase "Singing the songs tonite you'll be humming with your breakfast in the morning..." That is my favorite thing about a good show. How often do you shell out 20 bucks or more to see an artist who has a road crew and they sound horrible. Give me someone who hasn't sold out yet who has to do sound checks every so often in their set any day.

Another thing I enjoyed was seeing how much Molly really liked the show. She was grinning from ear to ear and every so often sang along. She's had a week that hasn't exactly been the best to her so I was excited things worked out that she could make it.

After the show, we headed up to Dallas. Oh the Lonestars, oh the memories. Mmm Mmm good. Laurie was there at Jac's bar and she didn't know we were coming. What I didn't know is that I was going to have 3-4 cups of ice water poured down my back and pants all night. I guess I must have looked dehydrated. Thanks for looking out for me girls.. (karma.. all I gotta say. look out Molls...)

I think everytime you have come out something doesn't go right the next day. I will stop being the bad influence.
