Running Down A Dream: Happy Birthday El Guapo!

Last night when we arrived at the hotel... Panther realized that he FORGOT his suitcase. Yup. Left it in Nashville.

So for now, this is Panther's suitcase:

We ACTUALLY got to play the show!!! YIPPPEE!!! And it was a Great show. I was soooo nervous about singing Devil tonight. How many times have I sung that song? But yeah - the last night at Schooner's I totally blanked on the last verse and did not recover well. But everything was back to normal today. :) Articles online have already been posted!

Except for the fact that Miguel and I BOTH had issues - in the middle of the medley, my fiddle just STOPPED working. Kaput. I quickly scrambled to tune my other fiddle up to the right place and fell back in with the guys. Plus, Miguel's pedal broke before the show.

But NO WORRIES!!! Dr. Cancino set up shop in the hotel room tonight, after a quick purchase of a soldering iron, and got us back up and running! I would have had no clue. I am so glad he knows how to do that kind of thing! Otherwise I would be down to one fiddle tomorrow!

But the show went great. We made TONS of new friends in Greenwood. Plus it was David's birthday, along with 3 other audience members. We had an awesome birthday dinner for David afterwards. Since Ruby Tuesday doesn't do any major embarrassing song for birthday boys - they made him stand up in his chair (we were the only table in the restaurant) while we all sang Happy Birthday. David did not disappoint - he did the El Guapo dance IN THE CHAIR (from 3 Amigos). Made us all VERY happy.

Our new friends :)
Kathryn and Joey - Two of the SWEETEST kids ever. So cute - Joey REALLY wanted me to see that he was already wearing his Natalie Stovall button :)
