Yesterday I finally made it to the "big time", I did sound in a Whole Foods parking lot.

NOT this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UFc1pr2yUU&feature=share

That one's in Santa Monica CA

I was at the Palo Alto CA store doing a kickoff event for this year's Stanford Jazz Festival with thee bands, one of recent Stanford Jazz Workshop students led by guitarist Lucas del Calvo, a N'awlins style street band led by drummer Jaz Sawyer and Wayne Wallace's Latin Jazz Quintet. Seven hours in the sun, or at least in the sun in between frequent moves of the patio umbrella they provided for me.

Gear used: Yamaha 01v96 v2, 2 EONA ADR audio U103s, 3 QSC K10s, and all the mics, stands and cables needed to string everything together.

It all fit in my 2000 four door Honda Accord.

I should have taken pictures but there wasn't room left in the car for a camera ;-)

LOL! Wow, not the usual formula for song topics either, ie not the usual things like money, power, sexual addiction, drug withdrawal, thought control, separation anxiety, fear of rejection, etc.

If I ever wrote a song it might come out something like this video. Which is why I don't write songs, but probably should. I know there is a market for it :)
