On break reflecting

The scene: Harrah’s CMT Crossroads backstage. Finished set 1, on break. As I sit here resting, the subwoofers pulsating through the entire building as Daniel (soundman/DJ) energizes the dance floor, I can’t help but pat myself on the back. I’m playing better than A-game. I’m on a whole new level of A-game, partly thanks to the professionalism of Five Star Iris. I’ve always run a tight ship within myself but these guys inspire me to excell beyond. Also fueling this revival is “Year Of The Ox,” which will drop in 2010. Writing has gotten my creative juices flowing.
Hopefully you (readers) will JOIN US and experience this in the near future! 5si plays Smiths Olde Bar on February 12. MARK YOUR CALENDARS.

Good Times …

“Good Times, Bad Times / I know I’ve had my share …”
Yes, to quote Led Zeppelin it’s been a wild roller coaster these past 12 months but the peaks were really Good Times! I got to meet and jam with some great artists, and played a lot of cool shows. The guys in 5si have been really welcoming and the October gigs rocked. They say I’ve done an awesome job of stepping into the role. Fans said we rocked with great stage presence and I signed a few autographs one woman asked for my guitar pick- first time for everything!
