Bo Diddley has passed …

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Hello again friends! Last week was filled with more sadness as we learned of the passing of another Blues legend on June 2, and the great news journalist Tim Russert on June 13. I wanted to write a good obituary for Bo Diddley, but time was limited in my schedule. Fortunately the Associated Press did an excellent job in their attempt so I’ve pasted it below. Please keep the greats alive in your thoughts! ~Nick

WUGA videos uploaded (finally!)

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

Dear friends and family, apologies for it taking so many months to upload these videos. The truth is we were waiting on having the editing done. Not that there was THAT much to edit – on the contrary we did very little editing (basically just added a splash page and did fade-outs for endings). No, we just were so busy that we didn’t begin the editing process until last week. So here they are – all four songs which I performed live on the air on October 12, 2007. Enjoy ~NE click to watch on YouTube

Friday morning, Oct. 12

Friday, October 12th, 2007

I think perhaps I have seen more than my share of 3 AMs at the young age of 24. My eyes are heavy but I can not rest. My mind races. These 48 hours are jam-packed with excitement and “firsts.” Last night I played a concert for the University of GA. As a student I recall dreaming of the day that I would return to entertain my alma mater. While the show did not take place in Hodgeson Hall, it was in the Grand Ballroom of the student center. Also, our concert was the opening event of a Georgia Scholastic Press Association conference – the inaugural year – so the audience was comprised of about 200 high school students. While this number does not approach my personal record, it was the best/biggest production I’ve ever done to that age group. Another exciting aspect of the show was performing as a 5-piece (drum/bass/guitar/organ/sax). While this was not the first time I’ve had a 5-pc. band, it was with some of the best musicians I’ve ever played with. And, thanks to a recent run of good luck, the 5-pc. setup is increasingly more common. When I began my solo project in 2004 I dreamt of someday having a permanent saxophonist and I feel that may soon happen. So, the audience was really awesome! We got tons of applause and cheers, and autograph requests. It was great. We took video. It’ll be online (on this blog) ASAP.
