sorry to be late to the party. I've not backed an elvis imitator, but we do a couple of elvis songs... they are big fun.
We've had 3 gigs since I last posted. Last sunday was a fun, super hot (temperature wise) shindig at a reasonably local watering hole/biker bar. Tons of motor sickle enthusiasts came through during the day... (we played from 1:30 - 6) we also decided to take only 10 minute breaks and less talk from the bandstand. The original goal was to play all the songs we knew as a band... we came up about 15 short!
I played my bender and green tele. I'm still struggling with not actuating the bender, but making progress!
We played last night for a smaller, shorter event... which was fine but uneventful. Nice people and very kind and we played fine.... it has been a super long week at work, lots of late nights... so, I focused on playing well and a little less exuberance... which was the right thing for this job... we were just musical wall paper.
Today we played a wine festival in a town called boulder creek. It was just an hour spot, very nice! roadies! Sound system provided! No humping gear! woo hoo.
We were down a player today (no steel player for two gigs) and we played just fine! A small but appreciative crowd... we were really kind of overwhelmed at how many people came up after we played with nice comments and compliments. Got home about 3:30 and took a nap....
We got the trailer loaded up and we won't be opening it up again until next friday when we play at our favorite place... I can hardly wait!
