Re: Daryl Shawn
Cara, I'm immensely flattered, thanks for all the nice words.
Especially, thanks for coming out to two shows and being great company!
Heh...my acrobatics involved starting my first tune with a foot on a
chair, which I often do for instrumental tunes since I can prop up the
guitar a bit closer to my face for the more intricate stuff. But halfway
through, I felt inspired to rock out, and stood up on both feet. The
resulting pull on my strap was enough to make it pop off my axe, sending
it careening in the direction of the floor. I tried to reorient myself
with a foot on the chair, but instead gave it a real good kick, sending
it out of reach. I was lucky enough to snag a few right-hand fingers on
the strings to prevent my Takamine from gouging a divot in the stage
floor, did a little hop over to the now-distant chair, and after what
seemed an eternity of clawing-at-catgut sounds and general laughter from
those assembled, managed to put two hands on the guitar at the same time
and finished my wrecked tune. Great way to start!
I'll echo that Echo Curio is a super-supportive place, I recommend it
highly to anyone wishing to loop live in LA.
I'm trying to keep up on a regular tour diary
