Spinal Tap moment

The last couple of days have been hectic but good. We have played a couple of nice venue's and to the best crowds of the tour so far.

Philadelphia was rockin. The crowd was great for both acts.

Washington DC and the best small venue in America. The 930 Club since they moved into their current location has it together. Very good production, professional in house crews and good eats.

Now the Spinal Tap moment. During the last song of the encore, John likes to climb onto his piano. Well tonight he jumped onto the piano bench and lost his balance. Sort of like the drummer in the movie when he fell off the drum thone.

John falling was not funny and fortunately he was not badly hurt. He has a bit of a carpet burn on his arm. He just missed hitting his head on the piano and was lucky. We held our breath for a second and he jumped right back up. I was looking down at the lighting console when he fell and didn't see him hit but I heard it.

Hopefully we will not have another incident like that.

Tomorrow is a day off which we are spending in Virginia just outside D.C. It's then on to Boston, NYC and then Canada.

If you are planning to come to any of the upcoming shows. NY, San Diego, LA, and Kansas City have all sold out in advance, so you may need to travel.

I'm off to sleep.........
