A mix up with the schedule found us with absolutely no publicity, but the small audience made up for that with their amazing enthusiasm. The nice custom boot maker from just ouside of O. And yes…. So many terrific new friends in the audience…. It was a great night…. On the way down we got to hook up our new XM satelite radio.
Just before the show, Carrie and I went out to the car to listen to us do our guest DJ segment on XM — we got to play whatever we liked…. It was a loose fun show where I injected a spur-of-the-moment tribute to Hank Ballard who recently passed away…. Nice talking with you both! Hope the picture of you and Carrie turns out O. All the best with your own stuff! JIM — nobody should be allowed to retire so young!
What a great night! Several thousand people jammed the place and the reaction to our show, here where Carrie was raised, was awesome. Willie was there…. Lucinda as well ……. We have a big day ahead of us…. John Jackson kindly gave us and toast to a great couple of years!!
Thanks Jason for having us play at your cool place and hi to your talented mom…. Celebrated later with a sip of Dr. Lu and the crowd wanted more…. Carrie and I were getting ready to record our new album when she suggested that we try some of our new songs for an audience. We went to a meeting room at their New York office and had a great time playing for the behind-the-scenes people. BMI is one of the companies who collects for songwriters.
I woke up to a call from Bert Pijper, our record company guy in the Netherlands. The festival committee was asking us to fill in. Although we were scheduled to go into the studio to begin recording, we were happy to push it back a couple of days and make a quick trip overseas.
