Preparation for the Show

Well, our second show is tonight and I'm as anxious as a kid on Christmas Eve. You'd think at my age (which I won't reveal, but suffice it to say old enough to know better) I'd lose some of the eager anticipation before playing but I never do. I think it's the sheer joy I get of playing the blues with my fellow NDYers that makes it hard to temper my enthusiasm.

After a week of work and dealing with the general stresses of daily life, playing the blues is a release. So here I sit at 8am on Saturday morning listening to a Roy Buchanan recording from 78 at My Fathers Place in Roslyn NY - my old stomping grounds - waiting to hit the stage later. For those interested, the show can be streamed from www.sugarmegs.org along with a lot of other great shows.

Live to play - play to live!
