Greetings from California!! We just got in to town late last night and so I’m just barely getting the chance to finish up my post about last Friday’s Huka Show. We rehearse with the local California band on Tuesday and then we’ll be ready to rock for the show on Thursday at The Beale Street Bar. The turn out for the Huka Bar
Show was absolutely phenomenal for my send off show, so let me start by thanking all of the friends and fans who showed up to support. The Better Life Band opened and really did a great job getting the crowd involved early. Thanks guys!!
Random highlights of the show include the improv song “Dave Briggs has Syphilis and a Big Penis” (yes, that was the song title I received from the audience – go figure) to which I would like it publicly known that he in fact doesn’t not have any venerial diseases as far as I am aware (though I am not a medical doctor). I am also unable to verify the second part of that song. Fortunately, I was able to turn that audience generated song title into a wickedly funny musical roast of my friend Dave. While on the road, I’ll miss being able to include friends names into random improv songs on the stage.
It was great to see everyone there at a full Huka Bar for my send off show. I only have out-of-state shows booked until August, so it will be a little while before my local Utah friends and fans will be able to see me again. By that time, my new album will be out and they’ll be several new songs added to the set list, so look for that.
Well, I’m off to bed. I have a headache. Miss you!!
