The 50th Concert
Well, after months of planning and hours of rehearsal, we finally played our show at New Life Ranch. It’s amazing how quickly an hour passes when you’re having the time of your life. It’s also amazing how quick an hour seems in comparison to the hours and hours of preparation that it takes. I am blessed to have such a great group of guys to play with. They made great sacrifices to make this day happen, so Brett, Jason, Chris, and Andrew…thank you. It was a pleasure. It was rough starting out yesterday, but it didn’t seem to phase you guys one bit.
Maybe the coolest moment was to see my friend Chris King get emotional at the end of the last song. Chris is the guy I learned so much from when I first started playing guitar, so it was an honor to share the stage with him. Chris, you mean the world to me. You will always be my friend. I owe much of who I am today to you. Thank you for always believing in me.
Many of you were disappointed you couldn’t be there for the show. Good news is we recorded the whole thing. In a week or so, I’ll start listening to the tracks and see if we were able to get anything worth using. Sometimes it may sound great live, but to play well enough to get something good on tape is another story. So, we’ll see what we get. I hope to at least get something to supplement the NLR theme album I’m working on.
Well, now that the day has finally come and gone, I’ll be able to pick up where I left off working on the NLR theme album and I have also been writing more songs that I want to track as soon as possible. I’ll also be looking to play more this next year around the area. That’s about it…
