i spend the day in close proximity, but finally buy another camera. i always drop them. the big treasure of the day is being here at the moment the honey crisp apple is perfectly ripe. they are beyond amazing. the university here invented them.
we play at the 1st ave club and it reminds me of the first time i was here and opened for p.j. harvey. opening gigs can be tough. tonight it was so again. we almost had em.
the first half or more of the set was solid and rockin’. but then i chose a couple of quieter songs and it all went to hell.
i don’t have many more of these kind of shows left in me, when we have to open for someone else’s crowd and win em over in a bar type venue. no good. the end.
i am on the bus now and we are headed to some place called madison. oh yeah, i remember madison. last time we played there was a very sweet crowd, but only about 20 people showed up.
Yes on the apples, but about $2.50 pound, ouch.
You must do it your way, I have seen several shows, I love never knowing what you will do and play. Screw someone else’s crowd, but that has to be hard. Love to see you again.
