Good morning everyone. Our show in Cincinnati went great. The people were warming responsive. Though it was The National’s Homecoming, we were quite welcomed. About an hour into their set I was invited to sing I Need My Girl with their singer Matt Berlinger. I sang my verse a little slow but they stayed with me.
This morning I am packing my few things including a new Aqua Teen Hunger Force hoodie. I loved that cartoon series and Dave Willis (a creator) came backstage with his wife and presented me with it. Our dearest friend Michael Stipe was there through the night brightening the atmosphere. I met members of Walkman who played a set before us, including The Rat. Which is awesome.
Now I am off to Washington D. C. I will write from there. Below is also with Michael, who is wearing the much earned Crew tour shirt.
I’m off….
Pleased it went well... great for you to get some really good feedback via the substack as well!!
Congrats to you and the band on continuing the performing journey! The image of Michael with the coveted Crew shirt is no longer available here. Bummer, was looking forward to that.
