Well I had a great time performing at AAB yesterday. It was 104 degrees out. But I was lucky enough to have a nice big fan in front of me the whole gig. We did three shows and watched everyone go through about 300 hot dogs. The sound was good and everyone in the band seemed to have a good time and we all hear each other. That makes a big difference.
There were free give-aways through out the day. My son James was trying his best to draw his own name to win the I-Pod shuffle they gave away. He has his own Mp3 player but I think he just likes winning drawings. I made a mistake in telling him how lucky I am in drawings and raffles. i remember the first time o won a raffle prize, I was about 10 years ols and we were vacationing at The Napa Valley Ranch Club. i won a bottle of Vermouth (big deal) but I thought it was like a bottle of wine or something i couldn't wait to get home and show my parents. Since then i have won many raffles.
All around it was a fun day and the music was enjoyed by many and some even danced in the sweltering heat. We were lucky to have a great cover over us, we never saw the sun yesterday. By the time we were done everyone had moved inside to the 70 degree showroom which felt like a refridgerated walkin compared to the outside, There was a big cake and face painting and a jumpy for the kids.
The Airport Auto Broker late model driving team was set up with their race cars. They will be racing in Ukiah on the 25th of July.
I had a good time. I am paying for it this morning though, boy was I stiff most of the day. I took a swim with my son awhile ago and it felt great since it is 107 in Upper Lake right now. Well got to go there is a Law & Order marithon on today and it's too hot for anything else. Thahnks everyone who came to the show....Lou
