And life goes on

Coming back to earth, we had a great gig at one of our regular haunts south of Market, last Thursday. We've added a few new tunes that are a bit poppier, rockier, and less country, but they went down well with our alt country crowd.

The other band was a a little five-piece from Austin, called Uncle Lucius. Good players and solid grooves. Kind of your southern rock kind of deal. We all got on well and it was an evening of work that was no work at all.

Now I'm putting some acoustic stuff together for a showcase that Vernon Black does at Bananas the first Wednesday of every month, featuring friends of his from all genres. Being the acoustic specialist here, he's been bugging me to do one of these for months, and it's time.

Vernon is one of the finest players I know, and his work is all over Mariah Carey's and Aretha's work with Narada Michael Walden. Frankly, I'm flattered by the attention.

And so, life goes on.
