11/16/09: Show Last Night!

Hey y'all, just wanted to fill you in as to how the show went last night. It was in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia at the Rodeo Lounge. The event was to raise money for Leukemia patients and their families, and it turned out to be an awesome evening. Derek Cain, whom Barry and I got to know before the show had told us about his story and what he had gone through being a Leukemia survivor himself and he truly became an inspiration to me hearing how positive he was about life. Derek had met us at the hotel early yesterday morning and we all went over to FX 101.9 where I played "What It Takes" live on the air. After leaving the radio station, Derek invited us over to his place for breakfast, and his wife June cooked up a very tasty breakfast for us all. Being that I didn't get much sleep the night prior, I went back to the hotel after that and slept for about 2 1/2 hours before having to go to soundcheck at 3pm. We did soundcheck and Carla the club owner was nice enough to feed the band and I a great meal. (Does it seem like all we do is eat? LOL) The show last night started at 10:30 pm and I did a 90 minute set. I tell you, the audience last night was incredible. I've done a lot of shows in my time to small crowds and big crowds and there are certain ones that stand out in my mind for being the loudest crowds and this I would definitely have to put near the top of the list for loud. There were times while I was singing, when I couldn't even hear myself over the audience. I swear they knew every word to pretty much every song. I was certainly blown away by that, and it helped to make a great evening for us. In closing I just wanted to say it was a real honor to help out the cause last night and thank you to Derek, Carla, Russ and Nikki from FX 101.9 for the support, I'll never forget it. Now Barry and I are sitting here in the Halifax airport and we have some time to kill before our flight. Our final destination is Cleveland, I'm going to sing at a church there tomorrow morning and then again later that night and we'll follow that up by the showing my new movie WWJD. I'm curious to see how it goes, I hope the people dig the movie, It has a very positive message that can touch people in several different ways. Anyhow, I'm gonna sign off now, but I hope y'all have a great day, and God Bless!
