First Show

Well we are off and running. Just had out first show. It was a radio show in Syracuse NY. Thanks to the folks at WNTQ for all there hospitality. The crowd was also very appreciative. So we have two new crew guys working with us. They did ok, they need to work out some bugs.

Things got off to an interesting start yesterday, when the band gear had to be picked up earlier. Being I was the only one in town along with the bus driver. I went to the freight company to pick it up. We loaded it by ourselves. It was actually quite easy. We just lucked out though that the bus got in so early and was alble to pick me up.


The wonderful folks at Northwest airlines lost our tour managers bag yesterday. He received it today luckily.

It's funny I'm right back into the swing of working with this band. It's hard to believe it has been nearly two years since the last tour. It seems like yesterday. The guys are in great spirits. Stuart is the new guitarist. He was recently playing with Jewel. Really good player and nice person. Nowah is the new drummer. He is rock solid and also very cool.

Well everyone is grabbing showers. We head off to Boston at 3am. Tomorrow we play the Paradise. Not a big club, but always a good time. The crowds in Boston for FFF are always great. The guys will be doing about 17 or 18 songs on the headline dates. So if you are coming out you will be getting your monies worth.

Day off on Monday so I will check back then.
