Normally after gigs I'll get a shower, sit quietly with a full glass of bourbon (or three) and reflect upon the evening's events. What went well? What needs some attention? What totally sucked... and so on. In order to try and preserve what remains of my sanity, I try to limit the self analysis to one night if possible and then move on to the next gig. A prolonged period of obsessing about what I perceived to have been a crappy night is pointless and for the most part, unproductive. It's part of the deal I made with myself when deciding to move forward with this undertaking and for the benefit of all involved, I really try to stick to the policy.
Tonight however, was one of those rare nights when I feel as though there is very little to kvetch about. Attendance was a little light and when that happens, it can often be a very interesting place to play from. The cool thing was the people that were there, were definitely music lovers and they listened intently, so it made for a very enjoyable evening.
Next up, the South side!

You mean your next door neighbor wasn't trying to engage you in conversation while you were trying to sing verse two of "A Pirate Looks at 40"?
It sounds like a satisfying night Axis. I know you put your heart and soul into the details of your performances. Maybe I can catch your Sotuh Tampa appearance. -- Ozone
Close! :) He was lobbying for "the Wreck" during the opening strains of "Cherry Bomb". Now THAT'S passion. Gotta love it.
Off to read about Shell Head!

Love the set list. Wish I could be there to take in the latest Axis project. I'll be down soon enough to catch a performance.
Breaking a "Turn the Page" and "Cherry Bomb". Nice!
