First off, let me begin by saying that living in Southern California is kind of like living in an episode of the twilight zone. Weird things happen and life can be pretty unpredictable out here. Over the last 2 days I’ve bumped into the guy who played Dozier from the Matrix at an Olive Garden and I stumbled onto Willis (Todd Bridges) from The Different Strokes in a tattoo shop – “What you talking about, Willis?” It’s always interesting what you might see in LA.
Friday night’s show at The Witches Brew was just another one of those epic Southern California nights. Great music, hilarious comedy, and fun times for everyone. Dale Spollett, my good friend who also assists me with social networking website management, opened up for me. He sang some covers and originals and, specifically, got the crowd nice and toasty warm. Then I got on-stage. By the end of the night, Dale and I were both on-stage improvising such potential hits as “Robots on the Moon,” “Frogs Tap Dancing With You,” “Tom Cunninglingus Has Jungle Fever and Loves Orange Soda.” Yes, weird suggestions from a wild audience, but somehow Dale and I ran with those and even had tight harmonies on the choruses. It was a fun night. The grand moment was a duet between Dale and I of “You Lost that Loving Feeling” which included an epic whistle solo.
I want to thank everyone who came out to the show to support and also The Witches Brew for taking great care of us. Big thanks to Aaron Chavez for handing percussion duties, Dale for opening, and Ken for setting up the gig. I look forward to playing back there in North Hills again sometime soon.
