Acoustic Rock Show...for giving

Here is the setlist from the L3 extravaganza.

The set was short, but I still had time to display some new material, toss in a few favs from D of A and play a cover.

Fly by St. Catharines rock legends Far From Luke was spliced into Flying the Hindenburg (thanks for the back up vox guys!)

I think Sunrise/Sunset is a neat tune to start off a set with, especially going into Fine Art of Self Defense which picks it up a little after a mellow and melodic start.

Letter from Bilbao may become a regular cover, especially the a capella arrangement I've put together. I think I need an organ to make it complete however.

OTHER NOTES:

Not even a snow storm could stop me from playing this show. Four hours on the QEW getting there, but it was worth it. I was very pleased with how things turned out and the hometown reception I received from the L3 crowd.

However, four hours in the cold car made my guitar mighty cold as well and the strings did not want to stay in tune for more than a few seconds at a time. But since I am the king of technical goof ups, I think I handled it OK.

Shout out to Darwin's Curse who hooked me up with the slot and played a great set themselves! They were relaxed and laid back and the sound reflected it - they were tight enough to be good, but loose enough to be fun (if that makes any sense). Good show guys, can't wait for the recording.

Also thanks are due to those who were snowed in and couldn't make it out, especially those who called or dropped me an email wishing me well. And an even greater thanks to those who braved the elements and came out to support an old friend.
