Small But Powerful

"We're small but powerful tonight!" That's how Sam introduced the show this Friday night - and it's true. The crowd is on the smaller side, but the energy is good and everyone is having fun, which is what counts.

Travel today fun - we stopped in Nashville and had lunch with Trone Sawyer and the soon to be Mrs. Sawyer, Catherine Nelson. Many tacos were consumed, and a good time was had by all. Catherine was also given the important job of tallying the final results for the band mix contest. It was a close affair, but in the end Mix #1 (crafted by yours truly) came out on top. The set-list went as follows,

Up Around The Bend (Credence Clearwater)
Trashcan Song (Delta Spirit)
Wagon Wheel (Old Crow Medicine Show)
10,000,000 Slaves (Otis Taylor)
The Boxer (Carbon Leaf)
I Could Sleep (Band Of Horses)
Brown Sugar (Rolling Stones)
Cherub Rock (Smashing Pumpkins)
My Name is Jonas (Wheezer)
Electric Feel (MGMT)
Paper Planes (MIA)
Interstate Love Song (Stone Temple Pilots)
See The World (Gomez)
Rivers of Babylon (Sublime)
Walking In Memphis (Rockapella)
Night Swimming (REM)

I'm honored to have won, but in the end what we really had were 6 hours of really great tunes to listen to as we traversed the country. I highly recommend this little game for anyone planning a road-trip in the near future.

Anyway, I know this is kinda short but none of us got a whole lot of sleep last night for various reasons, so I'm a little tired. On top of that we have a fun filled evening ahead of us in the form of some cosmic bowling...so I'm going to wrap this up. I might add on later...but who knows. If not, then the next thing posted will be the band video interview I did earlier this afternoon. Best wishes and have a good weekend!!

  1. Hope that dinner and bowling offered at least some laughs- during and afterwards.

    Things here are good. The rain finally stopped and I'm now watching That's So Raven.

    peace and love,
