It has come to my attention that perhaps some folks were dissapointed by my last show in the sense that they were expecting something
more different than what I have done before than what I did.
I never said it was going to be Black Metal versions of some of my songs.
Black Metal generally has a different kind of singing style associated with it than the way I sing.
I did, however, say metal versions.
I said that because the acoustic instruments (other than voice) had been replaced with highly distorted electric ones.
I figured "metal" was safe.

The mix had a little less guitar than what I had envisioned.
This was no fault of Brian Speaker's, who was the soundperson.
Not only did I not express exactly what I was going for (and may not have fully known myself), but I specifically asked him to make sure the audience could hear the words.

Whatever it was it was what it was.
It was an experiment and I had a joyful experience rehearsing and performing that way for a few weeks.

If I mislead anyone I apologize.

My guess is that most people that attended would have come even if I had not been performing at all.
My guess also is that those their liked what I did no more or less than they would have liked what I have done before.
I am not certain what Herb Scher thought, but other than..hahaha..I don't believe people really cared what form my (and to a certain extent Bryan Copeland's) show took.

Good show. I noticed how by

Good show.

I noticed how by the time you got to the last 2 songs you conquered the electric guitar thing and started to have more fun. Keep it up ROCK OUT ... Funny I was able to imagine how it would sound if you had a drum player behind you also ... Wow that would really sound good I bet.
