What a weekend

Hey everyone! I really can’t thank everyone enough for comin out to Cheyenne Saloon on Friday for the big Release Party! I was surprised as hell to find out it was also a SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY for me too, thanks to my wife and two of her friends! Jim Van Fleet emceed the whole thing…and did a DAMN FINE JOB! Y’all, honestly, it was the BEST night of my life!!! (…so far)
We’re workin on getting some pictures and video up here too…but I’m not sure everyone who was taking pictures and video is awake and sober enough yet to get them on a damn computer! (The fans did me proud by slammin the bars, bartenders, and waitresses of Cheyenne Saloon so hard I was afraid they wouldn’t know whether to scratch their watch or wind their ass! But the Saloon kept up with everyone like a champ, and the service was just awesome! I gotta thank everyone there at the Cheyenne Saloon for not only giving me such a beautiful place to premier my CD, but for giving all the fans star treatment too!
The band?? The band was BADASS! Daniel Dennis on drums, Mike Simms on bass, an amazing classical violinist Heather, Richard “The Mayor” and Dave. I was even lucky enough to get my Irish buddy from Raglan Road’s band Tuscar Rock, Shane McGowan (“Alien Hand” who played so fantastically on the CD), to sit in for a few tunes! I couldn’t have asked for more!
Everyone who came out to show their love and support…The Monsters, Monster Militia, the fans, my family and friends, Katherine Brown, Jeff Howell, SBK, Angel, Tony Rage, a 3-day-out-of-leg-surgery Chris Kirkpatrick…even the man himself, Bob Snow…and WAY more people than there is space on this whole damn blog…I can’t tell you all how much it means to me and how much I appreciate you all. I will NEVER forget that wonderful night!!! (Also a BIG thank you to Tuddle, Paul, and Tony, and everyone else who helped us pack up and clear off of Church Street before they got a chance to put a boot on my car!)
Of course, the whole night wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for the backing (emotional and financial) of Mike and Michele Hekkle, with Design Pros. You have been angels in my life, absolutely!!! That night was for you just as much as it was for me!!
If you couldn’t make it out there, I’m hoping to soon get out around town to do some more gigs with the new songs! I really hope to see all of you!
In the mean time, write and let me know what you think about the CD! Maybe I can talk my website Guru into postin some of the comments! (Only the GOOD ones, of course!)
Thanks again y’all!! Enjoy the CD…and keep tunin in to the Monsters!
