Filling Out The Fancy

I feel like I am in a movie walking down the hallways of this hotel. :)

There are so many performers coming and going... in and out of the rooms... you can hear The Drifters laughing and talking in their rooms. It's like a scene out of "Ray". :)

The guys are all hanging out with some of the other performers at the bar at the Holiday Inn. It's funny to have to go from one hotel to another to grab a drink! But I didn't want to get in the smoke... so I drove the boys and will just be their DD tonight.

We got to play today!!! We played the first 2 shows, but thunderstorms rolled in right before our last set. So we just had to pack up and go home. But during the first show... Miguel broke a string during "Fancy." No big deal. Happens all the time. So he picks up his other guitar and keeps playing. THEN he breaks a string on his OTHER guitar almost immediately. That has NEVER happened to him before! :) So he quickly ran behind his guitar amp and put another string on. I didn't know what was going on, and I didn't want to draw any more attention by looking... So Chris, James, and I played most of the song by ourselves. It turned out really great! Chris did an awesome job filling it out as much as possible on bass.

But Miguel got his string back on JUST in time for his solo :) And as always, rocked it out!

Well, peoples on the interwebz, I am ready for sleeping. Or maybe napping until I pick up the boys... and then sleeping. I like quiet time. I haven't been alone in a LONG time.

Peace. Love. Fiddle.

The Morning News Is On... I'm Going To Bed

Well... when you arrive at your hotel at 5:00am after driving through the night... the last thing you want to hear is that they have no record of your reservation AND that they are sold out. Boooo...

But no biggie. We found another hotel down the road that did have rooms. And even though they have about 60 mattresses lining the parking lot and outside of the rooms... there ARE mattresses on our beds as well. Hallelujah!

We just got a text from the guys saying they are switching rooms because the curtains just fell off their window in their room :)

Oh the journey we're on!

Sorry not to have more insight on life right now. But it's 5:22am. And I'm sleepy. Night night.

Peace. Love. Fiddle.
