Club Goers: This One's for You!

Much of this blog has been aimed primarily at guitar players and really anyone playing in a band. Well, a thought came to me earlier that perhaps some "fans" of my latest band, FOUR, might check out this blog from time to time, so I thought I'd write a little something for you, and there are two parts:

Part I - Thank You!
Seriously, thank you for coming out to our gigs and supporting us. You may never fully understand what your positive energy does for our shows, and it is your engagement in what we do that makes the difference between an average show and a memorable show. Even someone like myself who doesn't worry so much about looking or acting the part of a rock and roller and who generally minds his own business on stage literally feeds off of your energy. The louder and the rowdier the better I say, which segues nicely to my next point.

Part II - We want more!
Yes, more. More what? More you! Going out to a club and blowing off some steam is a great way to melt away the stresses of the week; for you and for us (remember, we have day jobs too). So when you come out and spend your hard earned money at the bar, we want to give you as good a time as we possibly can. The best way to ensure you get your money's worth is to engage with the band! Yell, clap, cheer and most of all...DANCE! Dance on the dance floor, next to the bar, on your table and by all means...come up and dance with the band! Seriously, see part I.

In closing, just remember that it's your energy that makes the band and the show, so enjoy your evening with us to the fullest and spend every night partying like there's no tomorrow (and of course be sure to secure a safe ride home)! Thanks to all you club goers and fans of FOUR. You may never know how much we really do appreciate you!

Oh - and to you few who take the time at virtually every gig to compliment my playing and guitar tone, thanks a million! You have no idea how hard I work on my sound!
