The first S.A.F. Music Fest went off really well. We had good turnout and the bands were amazing.

It was My Brother’s Keeper’s second show, and the very first time I was the lone guitar player on stage (I’ve always played with a rhythm/lead player), so I was more than a little nervous. But the band kicked ass. Everyone has come a long way since we started jamming and we’re growing tight.

Loud and Local, did play us last night on along with some major plugs! It was a kick hearing us on the radio.

Thanks to Tommy Conwell, all the bands, Doc Watsons, the sponsors, and all those who came out.

I especially want to do a shout out to my brother Dante, whom I am so very proud of. He pulled together a diverse set of groups, handled all sorts of mishaps, and ran a terrific event.

What do you think?

Our band will be going on around 7PM at The S.A.F. Music Fest. Hope to see you there.

I’m still talking to the band about what to do with any music we record. Maybe we can release it under a Creative Commons License as the The Phoenix Trap does.

I start to post some personal items and what comes next…. the cat picture! No, no, no! Not me…. but you can say hello to our new puppy:

For the record, Richelle named her. And it’s a perfect name. Trust me 🙂

See… this is what happens when you start to post personal stuff… you gotta post follow-thru! Next thing you know you’re fired at work for posting while working.

Anyway…I need to vent. It sucks to record a song for a show to play, and the show hearing the song giving you a great review and saying it’s going to happen, and then it doesn’t. I sat there on the edge of my seat, and then nadda. Nothing.

Hopefully the band can find solace in the effort and what we’ve learned by doing it. Maybe they’ll give me permission to share it on the web. We’ll see. If so, I’ll post a link here.
