Today was a great day. I got a call yesterday from Michael, the music director for the Heart of the City Festival. He asked us to head down to CJSR radio to talk about music and the HOTC Festival. So today Brian and I drove down to the University where the CJSR studios are and met up with Michael and David. David is the same radio host that interviewed us at the Audition. The session started off with a great honor. David played one of our songs "Sittin' Here" over the air. We got a song on the radio. Very cool! You can hear our discussion on CJSR below.
The other day an old Friend from Bethune sent me a note on Facebook that he was in town and would like to come hear us play. Since Brian and I were heading out to the Carrot Cafe, I told him to come see us there. I haven't seen Tom for probably 25 years, maybe more. It was nice to catch up on the Reid family.
Since Don is on some Island off the west coast and probably cursing at the rain, Brian and I decided to do a duet. Did 3 songs - Sittin' Here, Green Valley Monsters, and Blueberry Pie. Brian's been working on the vocals for Blueberry Pie, so it was a first on stage with him doing vocals on it. It wasn't a busy night at the Carrot, but still a fun night. Since there was more evening than performers, we got to do a second set. We played a song we haven't played for a while - My Dream Automobile. Then we did Johnson Browne.
Wanda told when we were leaving that all the ladies at the Carrot were all tapping their feet to our songs. The other performers were great, but they weren't playing toe tapping songs. Tonight was our night to entertain.
All in all, a great day.
