Live Band
I ended up going to Open Mic at Whistling Willie's last night and didn't play solo. My friend Todd Giudice was house drummer for the night and guitarist Mark Westin also joined in. We played 3 classic rock tunes. The first was NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN. I planned on playing this song and with the other musicians, I felt like I had the orchestra with me. Then we played SHATTERED. The last song was THE BALLAD OF JOHN AND YOKO. At the end of the performance I said to the crowd, "Sounds just like we practiced it." Even though we had never played those songs together before, it sounded tight and fun.
