Midweek and Melting

Wow, both of you people who read this blog are getting spoiled...updates every few days! Don't expect the same when Fall comes around...
Friday humped gear for Saturday's wedding gig in the countryside west of KW. It was a wild affair. Young crowd (who danced more for the band than the DJ which is a good sign) in a tent in a field in the middle of nowhere. Full moon. Warm night. Free food & drink. We should have paid them! (Well, maybe not.) They blew up fireworks for half an hour between sets. It was fun and "The Wedding Singers" may have more gigs coming up!
Sunday I did a walk around the park. On a whim I ventured into the Boathouse to hear some bluegrass. Soon many of the area musicians were all assembled on the patio: Al Carter, Corey Williams, Douglas Watson, Doug Mceachern, and more. Juno award winner Charity Brown invited some of us back to her patio where we had orange juice and tea and listened to her latest recording endeavors. A cool 'out of the blue' kind of afternoon.
Monday and Tuesday were back in the studio laying down bass tracks with producer/engineer Mike MacDonald who runs the Bayou Boys, a CCR tribute that's pretty much a full time touring band. Tuesday night I caught some of Shawn Kellerman shredding the blues at the Boathouse.
Lots of music, not a ton of writing going on right now.
Stay cool!
