the story i find myself in

wow...what a show last night! aqualung was fantastic but had a real short set - only 30 min. i wish he would've played longer. he did all the songs you would want him to do off of the strange and beautiful cd, but didnt do my favorite tune, 7 keys. oh well...hopefully he will be back around to houston soon. david gray was spectacular. he had a great band with him - his regular drummer and bass player - then a cellist, another piano/guitar player and a third guy in the back making all the cool ambient noises and such. i think the best part of the show was the lights for all the songs. seriously i was blown away - i had forgot how much of an impact lights can have on a show. wow. he did all the greats from white ladder, most of life in slow motion and for the encore did shine! i highly reccomed checking out this show if it is coming your way. wow. the only bad thing about last night is that amanda wasnt with me!! oh well, we are headed to death cab at the same place in about 20 days - that will be an amazing show! in other news, ryan and holly are headed our way on sunday and we begin recording my new cd sunday afternoon! woo hoo! i am soooo pumped about this album. the direction it is heading is great - great players for the album and i am most excited about working with amanda on this cd, she wrote one song and will be singing on a couple of tunes as well. yeah!! i will keep you all posted on the progress as much as i can, but life next week will be all studio! i guess the only bad thing about the cd is that when we take breaks we wont be looking out at the pacific...oh well...i guess houston will have to do for now...
