A Word from Josh: For me, these early days of Summer have been full of moments that remind you what life is all about. This week I've attended two weddings and a funeral. In fact, last weekend John and I performed in the wedding ceremony for our friends Brandi and Matt and one of the songs they asked us to play, "The Search Is Over", made it into tonight's set list. Now, playing the Badger Bowl is always a big blast for us, but I still can't get over the fact that this weekend I've been majorly up-staged in the gig category by my own mother. She'll be playing in the Madison Symphony tomorrow night for Rhythm and Booms in front of tens of thousands of people (she asked to borrow my leather pants). Tonight, I and my partners in hair jammed in front of tens of tens of people and had a darn good time doing it. "Thanks so much for coming out to see us tonight," John told the crowd of about 200. "We're glad because there so much other stuff going on tonight that you could be doing. I won't tell you what, because if I did you'd probably leave!" The show was pretty smooth, not much in the way of technical difficulties (regular readers of this journal probably get tired of me complaining about technical difficulties). Lots of rockers and fabulous babes were groovin' on what we were doin' out on the dance floor. But, as sometimes happens, there was one person who was diggin' it a little "toooo much." He was a big pile of muscle in a crew cut and he was in our faces on a lot of the heavier tunes screaming the lyrics back to us. During "Tom Sawyer" he got so caught up in the music that the security guards had to get involved. Nevermind the fact that this guy had arms that each weighed more than the guards. We were pleased to see Maribeth Luedtke and Dawn Farris who each came out from the Milwaukee area to see us. We'll be headed toward their neck of the woods next week. Later' - Josh |
