A certain guy that you know was just resting his Bass against the kitchen table to fill a to-go coffee cup with beer (first of the day) in order to go play on the street ,when BANG!!!! When this certain friend turned around he could tell. Even through the case , his bass was in two pieces . and then he realized he had fucked up.
As I rolled into the mountains this past weekend- windows open, beautiful weather, nice breeze- I scanned the radio for something to make the moment complete...and Hey! App State's station graced this listener with a Woodshedders'orginal.
Take care- hopefully we can work together again in the future!
You guys rocked the house at the concert last night; the folks just couldn't help but get up and dance! (Of course we all know that's a constant affliction for me, but... I wasn't alone!) Looking forward to seeing you guys at Earth Fest and booking you all for more house concerts in the future.
Good to hear you. Harper's Ferry has always held some attraction to me probably because I study history and a bit of music. Is it actually an interesting place now though?! Take it easy. Nick
