I was so punchy from driving, I forgot to mention Guy and Candie Carawan sang one of Rick Fieldings songs, and it was WONDERFUL! Steve, do you remember the name of the song? They gave it a wonderful introduction prasing Rick's tallent and committment.
I am touched by the comments here from those who have heard my work. My fustration comes from not being able to get our band heard. We have never had a bad reception from an audience, but we are hard to type. Traditional venues don't like that we write new material and others say we are too traditional, so they don't give the audience the chance to make up their mind about us. In the car home one of our members suggested that we drop some of the issues of our music. To my joy one member, a real anchor of our sound said, "You can't pretend to be something your not. If we are not who we are, we wont make it anyway."
THanks again for the support all,
Cheers,
Larry PS anyone who knows of a gig within reasonable driving from NY, drop me a PM and I will send our packet with a bonus CD as a thanks to the sender.
