The Greenwich Hotel and Las Vetas!!!

It's been another couple of fun days, so I'm going to tell you the stories in photos!!!

Last night (after a great day of thrift store shopping on Thayer St. in Providence) I played with my friends Daniel Chase and Jose Docen (check them out), and we had a great night at The Greenwich Hotel. Again, my name appeared in chalk...I gotta tell you...again it made me feel cool!



We played to a fun house since each of us brought a few people. There's a regular crowd at this place as well so we got to play to a nice full room. Here I am with Vanessa (my roadie for two shows!) and Aunt Judy (she stayed out late drinking Stellas with me...).



Now, lately I've been ending all of my sets with "Peace". I think it's cool to get everyone singing along to a nice peaceful song to end the night. Especially when I'm singing in a bar, it's always one of my personal challenges to see if I can get everyone to participate. Last night was no exception, and I must say, the clientele rose to the occasion. I was actually joined by two men (who had had a few adult beverages) who each decided to grab a microphone!! It was a little crazy, but with a bit of coaching, they both joined in at the right times and somewhat in tune...

Here's adult beverage man #1:



And here's adult beverage man #2:



Crazy times! After hanging out for a while after the show, Vanessa and I took off since we needed to get back to Fairfield, CT this afternoon and we didn't want to be sleepy drivers. I arrived home knowing that today is the last day that I'll see Bryan for a while so I decided to let him open for me tonight at Las Vetas...



Just kidding! But I did enjoy sharing the stage with Beethoven this evening...



It was SO HOT tonight in Las Vetas, so after my piano set I needed to take a small break to cool down, and while I was outside cooling off I was evangelized to by two very friendly young missionaries. Both girls are members of the Church of the Latter Day Saints so we exchanged cards. I think the design work on mine is more professional looking...



Here are the last photos, I promise. As I was finishing up my second set, I noticed a little girl looking at me, then drawing in her notebook, then looking at me, then drawing in her notebook...you get the idea. Anyway, when I was finished she gave me her drawing (which was addressed to "an awesome guitarist and singer"), and it turns out that Christine was inspired by my songs and wanted to draw something for me! Here's Christine posing with me after I was done playing:



And here's a close-up of the picture!



Thanks for reading...so far things are going really well and I'm having a lot of fun! Now I'm off for a late night drive to arrive in Reading, PA. Give me a call if you're up for a late night chat!!
