Another gig has come and gone…

The Shopkeepers played tonight at “On the Y”. We were the only band. Now I gotta say, that SOUNDS kind’a cool, but not when your band is still in its infancy and you only have about 30 minutes of material. The crowd was appreciative however, and we did sound a ton better than when we played there the last time. At least a good effort went into balancing our sound for the venue. Overall I give the performance a solid 6 (out of 10). This is up big time from the 4 I ranked our last time out. As long as things keep improving, I hold out hope for our band. I gotta say the songs are really good – kudos to the composition team of Little Mike, Big Mike, and everyone else who adds their touches.
Now I get to get up in 6½ hours for work. Yeah. When you are loading, unloading, setting up, taking down, loading, and unloading drums (even electric ones), you are apt to wonder why you didn’t take piccolo lessons instead. Here is what I was moving.




At least I had help… my personal roadie and equipment driver Michael “RJ” Campbell. Thanks buddy.

Good night one and all.
