Tonic and More

So I am sitting here at work listening to the Charles Billingsly cd, the one from his live performance at Thomas Road. Let me tell ya, it's amazing how crazy this thing can set my attitude for the day! It's definitely a true blessing.

So Jess and I got away last weekend and went to Raleigh, NC to Moore Square Park for a free concert. Got to see Tonic and Marcy's Playground. Not really a fan of MP but was able to shake hands and meet the bass player who seemed pretty cool. Tonic definitely put on a great show and those guys really showed me how music should be performance; with a smile and with passion! They were soo incredibly passionate about the music and you could tell that they missed playing together; maybe this could mean another Tonic album? :) So Jessica and I had a great time, despite getting back home at 2:30 in the morning.... wahhh!

So work today has been entertaining... not. I have gone through charts and dated signatures for people that typed their notes. Apparently there has to be an authentic date beside the signature if they are not hand written.... my skills today were put to some great use today! Worked it out so I have Friday off, hopefully if they weather permits Jessica and I can put the canoe in before our softball game! Keeping my fingers crossed :)

As far as things with the band, they have been going really well. The other guitar player quit so now I am playing guitar and singing... back to my comfort zone! We recorded a song the other night, poor quality though, still need to set things up ride, but the song definitely has some potential. Just have to work on some vocal parts for myself and find a way to tame the drummer! Haha.... it's always the drummers! Jonathan (the other guitar player) and I seem to have pretty good chemistry with writing music; that has me very excited. He wants to start working on a Myspace soon so hopefully I can have a play to direct some of you people sometime! I think God has certainly blessed me with this opportunity to express myself... and boy am I doing just that.
