Day 19 - DFR Music Lounge

Todays trip was pretty long but I managed to sleep through half of it amazingly. When we got to Brevard we stopped at Bob and Nancy’s house to visit. Bob is very sick and couldn’t come to the show and they’re long time fans of the group. We spent time with them chatting about various things. After we went to the show and set up. It’s a really nice venue that’s under ground level with a nice stage. We were playing with Brian who is a friend of Doug and has played or known a lot of the big guys. Eddie Martin was supposed to make it out but had some family commitments.

Overall the gig was great but it seemed like the old adage of being the biggest amp and turn it up held true. Doug and I used our small amps and every guitar player that had been invited did exactly the opposite. Regardless, it was still cool with a great audience. They invited us back and I’m sure we will be back.

After the show we stopped at a gas station and the gas station had a full bar inside. Never seen that before. We then went to Brian’s house and I met his giant dog Luke then we went to bed. Another early morning as we have an 11 or so hour drive home.Read more
