Today I played two gigs. The first was a Please Pleaserock Me/Yacht Rock Revue at the Dunwoody Beer Festival. Just like last year, we had to deal with some on again/off again rain, but the crowd dug our stuff and we dug the crowd. It was super hot and muggy. I did my best to stay hydrated. About the only problem I can think of is that I couldn't see if some of the lights were lit up on the side of the EWI. Outdoor gigs are like that.
Here's the pile of gear I took with me:
After that, I boogied up to Suwanee to play with the Yacht Rock Schooner at the Wild Wing Cafe. It was there that I performed your hit song Lonely Boy (I played the piano part) to the best of my ability, and if I do say so myself, I nailed it. I am sure you would have dug my playing on that tune--Bencuya, G Lee, and Kevin Spencer noted my skills.
The performance was one of my greatest musical accomplishments; I felt like I should have taken a victory lap around the bar draped in an American flag.
From there on, it was normal Yacht Rock stuff, but excruciatingly loud. It sounded like this picture of me looks:
You get the idea.
Anyway, thanks for the tune. I hope to play it again soon (before I forget it).
