Campfire Jam

Howdy partner! Well, this week is a little different. On a typical week, Monday's and Tuesday's are usually kind of slow around the SDR fold. We've usually had a show or two over the weekend, and will spend Monday and Tuesday kind of recovering from the weekend. Usually, I will start thinking about a blog post on Wednesday, and will usually get it published, late on Thursday night. Then, most of the time, it's time to start gearing up for the weekend show schedule.

This week is anything but ordinary, as we will be playing a show tomorrow night. The show will also be very different, as it is an acoustic show, and not a full band show. If you've listened to our music, then you know it has a lot of electric guitar and a lot of keyboards. It's not really acoustic based music, lol. Roy and I will be doing this one without Brian and Tony. We met this past weekend to go through the songs on the album, and see which ones would work acoustically, and which ones wouldn't. I was worried that none of them would work out acoustically, ha ha! Fortunately, most of them did work. We recorded mp3's of the acoustic arrangements, for practice, and when I went back and listened, I was pleasantly surprised. It was kind of neat to hear the songs stripped down to the bare bone. I'm actually, really looking forward to tomorrow night.

I've mentioned this gig, a couple of times in passing, but hear it is for reals. We were invited, several months ago, to come and play at the Bigstar97.com Campfire Jam. Bigstar97 is a local DFW internet radio station. Here is the link to the station www.bigstar97.com go check it out! The Campfire Jam is a song swap with various artists every week. This week, we will be playing with The Usrey Brothers. They have some really cool music, and Roy and I are really looking forward to meeting them. They really are brothers too! You can get some more information on The Usrey Brothers, and listen to some of their tunes here www.reverbnation.com/theusreybrothers Go check em' out!

The party will be happening at MacGyvers Food and Spirits in Burleson, Texas. They are located at 4276 East FM 1187. Showtime will be at 7pm tomorrow night. So, if your in the Burleson area tomorrow, or even if your not, make plans to come by MacGyvers tomorrow night. You can come have some dinner, listen to some tunes, and still be home at a decent time! But, if you can't make it, then please be sure to tune in to Bigstar97, at the above web address, and you can listen to it all, live!

Okay, that's about all the time I have for now. Time to go stretch those new acoustic strings and toughen up my fingertips. I'll talk to you soon, and thank you for reading!
