Ah yessssss… the drive through endless fields of yet to be planted potatoes, onions and cranberry bogs. Well, we didn't drive THROUGH them, just past them. We probably would've pissed off some farmers and gotten into trouble with the law in those parts had we actually done that. Plus we probably would've gotten stuck too.
So for this time around at The Fallback, the drive was long and uneventful. We pass the time by chatting with each other, watching silly videos, reviewing set lists/songs, and stopping at a gas station for gas, snacks and a water break. Very exciting stuff, we know. The life of a full time musician isn't always glamorous.
We will say this… arriving at a gig when there is still daylight is great. We seem to empty the trailer faster and get our sound check done earlier. Hmmm… we might be onto to something here. Start the show when it's light and go home when it's light?! We aren't getting any younger ya know.
Doors opened at 7 pm and the people started to file in one by one, two by two, four by four etc. With a full room, the curtain dropped and the show began to many live music hungry people. We weren't without a couple technical snafus tonight; the most notable one being our light show went completely out during a portion of No More Mr. Nice Guy. Jason and his crew had it figured out in less than 60 seconds and we were back up and running. What was really cool about this is we never stopped playing, and EVERYONE and we mean EVERYONE turned on their camera phone lights. That was pretty awesome to see. Way to be team players and help these guys out!
Three hours passed WAY too quickly. We had a blast and hope you all did as well. Thanks for spending 4/20 day with Cherry Pie! PS: Isn't that a strain of 420?! ;P (We wouldn't know. We don't partake lol).
See you at another show soon!
