I wrote about last Friday's whitewolfsonicprincess show in our r&r diary here. It truly was an extraordinary night. Didn't know what to expect, for some reason I was a little worried about how many folks would come out to see us. All the cosmic forces worked in our favor. The band was tight and focused, and loose and lively. And the audience was incredible. The place was packed.
Now I am a believer in the idea that your show can not be dependent on the audience. And you must play with complete commitment no matter if the audience is big or small, sober or drunk, lively or dead, engaged or indifferent. It doesn't matter. You must play with total focus and commitment!
But it just so happens that this night's audience was totally with us every step of the way. And there was an amazing group of folks in the room - artists, poets, mathematicians, yogis, theologians, philosophers, directors, actors, teachers, public defenders, writers, psychics, clairvoyants, radio-hosts, photographers, film-critics, singers, musicians, performance artists and a few "regular citizens" too.
The room was totally alive, we felt like we were really connecting. I've been riding on a cloud ever since… yes, it was quite the show.
