Redneck Hoo-ha

This blog all started with a simple story. A story about a man in his never-ending quest to save all the kind women of the world. See what it got him? That's right, distracted and writing about, well, anything he can wrap his head around. All content theoretically copyrighted, so send me money.

THANKS!!

I just want to send my gratitude and thanks to all the well-wishers out there and to those who actually came out to our show at the PourHouse last night. By all reports I have received, and those I have solicited for directly, we did well last night. Very well, according to some.

Maybe it's true. I can't say cause I am still coming down off the high I got from playing to an appreciative and decently-sized audience last night. They got me going and I got all kinds of pumped up off those endorphins and was in la la land for much of the night.

On a few of those songs, I was just so INTO it that I would realize halfway through that I was just dancing and bopping my head while I played.

You know, I used to look at dudes on stage that were all dancing about and think to myself, "Dude... you're totally being a dork. Why not just play the song?"

Well, I take it all back. I understand now.

No, wait. I GROK. I totally grok that vibe.


You can't stop it... it just takes over and you just ride the wave and let it go. The bouncing head and bouncing feet and the silly grin... all the way to the f""kfaces we guitarists make when we are playing some solo or lead guitar... it's all that same thing. No control - you are just so focused on the song, or so unfocused and letting it go that those things just happen.

It just does.


And it is such the damn rush.

I definitely got a big dose last night - and I hope it showed in our playing... people said it did.

Damn, I love endorphins.

Am I the only one that had to look up the word grok? Just checking.

I fear the moment you get to play to a large audience - you may not sleep for DAYS.

Great, great, great show!
