I wanted to tell everyone who came out to see us at the Doug Fir, “Thank you.” We had a great time playing; it had been a long time, at least when you compare it to the schedule we used to have. I think it was our first show in about three months, and it felt really good to be playing again. Hopefully some of that enthusiasm was apparent. I mean, I didn’t climb on top of my piano, like the guy from Editor’s might do, but I did what I thought I should do, consistent with the make-up of my personality.
I hope you liked our new song, “Flying Cars.” It’s one of our favorites from the new batch we’re working on at the moment. Kyle says it’ll be a long time before cars fly because it’s too inefficient; our fuel souce is just too expensive and cumbersome to make blast-off a real economic possibility. I guess he’s right. Too bad.
Have you heard what John Mayer said? He said something to the effect of, “There are two kinds of musicians in the world: blues musicians and non-blues musicians. Blues musicians want to hear notes bent; non-blues musicians don’t.” Of course when I heard this, I took great pains to convince myself that I was a blues musician. But I’m not sure I really am. What are you? Blues or non-blues? Don’t worry, there’s nothing inherently superior or inferior about either one. Just be honest and say what you really think.
Thanks again for supporting us at the show Friday. It means a lot to know there are people still digging the music.
Talk to you soon.
