it's april 23rd, 2005...about 4:45 AM...just got home from our show at the Whiskey Bar, in hoboken. we've been incorporating my piano into our live shows now for a while, and this was our first time doing it at the Whiskey. fits like the preverbial glove. i haven't played piano with my band in about 14 years, and i have no idea why i've waited this long. shoulda been doin' it all along, but whatever, it feels good now. the response from the audiences has been very good, and the dynamic it adds to our sound is pleasing to us, to say the least. "Story of My Life" sounds like "Story of My Life". "Primrose Lane" now sounds the way i heard it in my head when i wrote it with Jim Babjak. and don't even get me started about how it feels to play "What'd I Say?"....whew.
i hope you you guys like it as much as we do....
when you've been playing as long as we have, it's good to change the landscape.
well, g'nite and thanks for keeping your ears open and letting us in....i'll be checking in soon...
