Carroll's 55th Street
As Carroll's is getting pretty tight for scheduling with Broadway plays rehearsing all over, our options were playing at Smash for an exorbitant amount of money for 2 drum kits or go to Carroll's on a Friday night a see who shows. Fortunately we were able to muster up a band with me on guitar, Kevin and his Trace Elliot on bass, Rich on Keys and Drew and Scott back on drums. Scott was aching a bit with his wrist but persevered for most of the night.
We got a pretty good recording of the music with an ok shot from two cameras from which the video was produced. With everyone aching, I thought the Forever Young was fitting and dedicated to Kevin. It ended up being a pretty good version for us as we usually fail on that song. I was playing my Red Squire Stratocaster and wasn't liking the tone of it and or my amp all night long. Seems like I was fighting for sound instead of my instruments presenting me with the sounds I need. It's why you have to go to every show. Finally, I also present Drew with a Cityscape oil painting I painted with him in mind.
Freak Out!
