11/13/2007 – I had such a fun time last Saturday night. It was my first time playing with the ATL Songwriters group, and it was my first time at a great new spot in Oakhurst called Kavarna. Jim Combs had already started by the time I arrived, and this was the best set that I’ve caught by him. During one of his spontaneous compositions he played an electric kalimba that sounded amazing!
I was up next so I grabbed my guitar, tuned up, and rocked it. I had a really fun time on stage, the best time I’ve had in a long time. The room sounded fantastic, the crowded listened, chatted, and laughed at my lame attempts to be funny. Some friends made it out too, which is always great and very much appreciated.
Next up was the Melinda Kingsley Band, a fun four/five piece. And finally, closing the night was one of my local faves Lindsey Appel. She’s got a really sweet voice and creative songs, good stuff indeed.
Most of Sunday was spent playing some guitar at home and trying to figure out my new JamMan pedal. It’s a looping pedal. I think I’m the last solo guitarist to get one, but they are pretty damn cool. And finally, Sunday night, a big group of us gathered to celebrate our friend Kim’s marriage vows and rock out to The Preakness. No pictures in this updated unfortunately, you’ll just have to trust me that all this stuff really happened.
