Whoops.
See, here's what happened. I grabbed the pics that Kat had nicely taken for this show at Hotel Chelsea, along with several other sets of pics at the same time. And while I was scooting stuff around, I accidentally deleted these pics before using them. Perhaps she won't notice, he said, knowing that someday she likely might.
You Can Still Tell Us About The Show Though, Right?
I mean, yes. But also no. I can tell you that it was a good show. I can also tell you that it was the very first show I'd played after learning the very sad news about having lost my buddy Lyndon Heart to Parkinson's disease in late November.
Initially, I had planned this show to be a sort of tribute to Lyndon, until finding out the I'd have the privilege of performing at his memorial event in SL the following day. That's why I chose to hold off on a number of the songs that I'd have otherwise lined up in my set to honor this great musician and great man. We will discuss more about that when I write up that show.
So as it was, I just picked one tune — James Taylor's "Fire & Rain" — as a way to honor Lyndon at this show. We had an outstanding crowd, and my shows at Hotel Chelsea have been uniformly excellent as of late. I always look forward to the next one, every single time.
