Not playing ..... setting up and doing the NH republican debate, 7 day gig. HERE is 40 hours of set up in 90 seconds.
 
HERE is another CNN clip. I'm visible from :04 to :06 working on the Camera right stage leg.
 
Blues/Funk/R&B stuff. Just got home. Nice crowd and got $100 tip.
 
I played out with a friend at a coffee house last night for three hours. He sang and played a 6 & a 12 string acoustic. I sang and played an acoustic, a strat, a harp and bongos. During one song (Mexico by Firefall) I was doin leads and he got so excited he broke 2 strings on his 12 string, lol. :D

I'm just home ...... I played music from noon 'till 10pm ..... half of that was out directly in the sun. :eek:
And they were about a 50 minute drive so I left home around 10:30am and got home around midnight.

I'm finally winding down a bit and I'm in that zone where you go eat everything you have in the house to eat. I'm getting ready to seriously chow down.
 
Getting ready to head out to a new venue. Milford NH "Sounds on the Souhegan" 12 week series various artist - mostly big band swing type of stuff - gotta break out the big guns on this one. Sound and lighting!
 
Just got in (2:23am) from doing a gig at Universals' Portofino Bay Hotel.
Big huge ass place. The load in has to be half a mile. Down one hall foever and then a slight turn and down another hall forever and then a hard right and down that hall forever and then a slight jog left and ..... not quite forever, you're there!
Fortunately they provide the PA so I could manage everything in a single load on my dolly. Guitar, keyboard, small amp (tiny terror and a 10" cab0 .... pedal board, sax and stands and sundry items. It's about as far a load in as I have ever done ...... I'm worn out.
But it was a huge plaza with a lot of people there so the gig was pretty cool.
 
Two bar-B-Q gigs today. The first one I played with a buddy and we had ribs and sausage & peppers. The second I soloed and had bar-B-Q steak and chicken. Awesome day.
