Eddy's Restaurant Performance

I played at Eddy's Restaurant on the second Saturday of June.  Friends of mine from Oak Run came and played some blue grass, too.  We had a great time and best of all the owner asked us to come back and play.  He made the comment that we needed more microphones.  As you can see there was only one.  It worked fine for me, but when there were two vocalists sharing it you couldn't hear anyone.  That can be fixed.  We're planning on it in July.

Yard Project Progress

One of my last posts said that I had "catch up" to do.  This is a bit of that.  Before I continue to work on the light post I thought I should edit and post what has been happening up to this point.  I'll add more as I complete it.

Catch Up and Blues

Well, there is much that I need to post.  However, I just wanted to put a hold on that and post a little blues piece that I was having some fun with.  For the first time I used my keyboard as a bass.  I want to go back to add it into some of my previous recordings now.  Enjoy!

Performance!

Well, I have few songs that I have written over the past two years and somehow I got it into my head that I should find a venue to perform them.  There is a local event in Redding, Ca. each month called the Art Hop.  I got in touch with the coordinator and now I am signed up to play Eddy's Gastro Pub on Market St. from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, June 11th.  Adam, the coordinator even put an article in the local paper!  I am excited and, of course, nervous.  We saw "The King's Speech" last night and I thought, "What if that happens when I try to sing?"

I have about 8 or 9 songs.  Fortunately, I have about a week to practice them.  I tend to write a song and then go on to the next pretty quickly.  As a result they aren't always "down pat."  Now it's time to get them down.

If your in Redding it would be great to see you there.  Eddy's is known for great food.  The proprietor's name is actually Tom.  I read somewhere that his dog is "Eddy."  So, come have some great food, listen to music, and see art from a popular local painter.
