A gig by any other name

So Ben Taylor did the nice favor of asking me to play and sing songs with him and a few others last weekend. It was at Pete's Candy Store in Wilhelmsburg. A tiny old boxcar attached to a bar. I've never really been "in the band" before. It has its perks- half-price sandwiches and two free drinks namely. Moving equipment around and plugging things in is more work than it seems. It was so much fun though and I was a little nervous but not enough to matter.

Here are a few more pictures of the band...








And a few shots of the glamourous audience.







We played seven songs which Ben wrote. We had a pedal steel guitar player, a drummer, a keyboard player, and two guitars. I wish I had a recording of it because i think it was really pretty. We may try it again soon. Ben thought of the name "E as in Echo" so maybe we'll try that. Matty Charles let us play before him, and also a band named Ursa Minor. The link link isn't working as I do this so no links but look these good bands up and also Pete's itself. And finally Ben and his real band have a Myspace space-

The first song I sing on but real subtle-like.

Thanks for coming to our show.
