Hey guys,
Just as suspected, I barely survived Savannah Stopover last weekend. I hope most of you guys made it down there for at least one night, I think it was one of the best Stopovers yet. And a few of you got to see one of the worst guitar solos in Savannah on Saturday night, as I was (randomly) pulled onstage at the Peelander-Z show and handed a guitar. I guess that they figured since I was an old guy in the audience, I must be able to play. Boy, did I surprise them! But I had a great time and I would also like to apologize to anyone who was listening.
It looks like we are going to jump into another music-filled week. I am impressed with the amount of (mostly) local acts that are playing at the St. Patrick’s Day Festival. This is what I was hoping for when they started charging us $5 to drink down there. You have a chance to catch just about every local act that I talk about in this blog this weekend. Since most of you will be downtown anyway, make it a point to see a few of these guys (and girls). I don’t know how many of these I will be able to see, but this is a list of shows I recommend. Take note that Kevn Kinney of Drivin’ n’ Cryin’ is playing on St. Patrick’s Day. I hope everyone has a fun or safe St. Patrick’s Day.
