Normally I don’t loat about my job but this weekend takes the cake.
Friday night - Richie Havens. I mixed “Freedom” and “Here Comes the Sun” and “All Along the Watchtower” from an artist who either wrote the song or was there for the beginnings of all of it. So very cool to meet such an awesome person and artist.
Saturday night - Leslie Gore. Yeah, I mixed “It’s My Party”. Fuck yes! So awesome and a fun show. Amber locks my kesy in my car and the girl at AAA knows who I am! Very cool. We got into the car in less than an hour thanks to that.
Sunday night - < href="http://www.christinaabbott.com/">Christina Abbott (you NEED to know who she is) who has become a friend of Amber and I played a great set before Josh Kelly. Josh Kelly is a cool dude beyond words and writes some great honest music.
And here’s a fun item as well. I have very boring business cards. My name, my job, my email and phone #. No frills, no graphics, no nothing exra. Josh Kelly and Slim (the 2nd guitarist) of the band take a look at go “Cool! Straight ahead with all the information I need.” …which just so happens to be the reason I had them made the way that they were! I’m happy to say the least.
And on top of all of it, I got to spend this awesome weekend with my beautiful fiancee! AND we set a date for the wedding to boot. I’m getting married September 1st, 2007 to Amber Santos. Amber’s so cool.
Rawk!
