Video, Mom, Inspiration

On Tuesday I shot a promotional video for the Gratitude Steel Band. The studio was called the Church, it was somewhere near Livonia. It was and actual church redone into a very cool studio. I have never seen so much nice equipment. We recorded a couple of tracks for audio only, then they played back the tape and rolled the cameras as we went crazy on stage. After that, we did some interviews and that was it. It was a lot of fun. Friday I was at Cafe Felix again with Deep Blue. My Mom was in town for a convention, so she got to come by and check out a set. It is always great to play for my biggest fan :) Then, to top off the weekend my wife Jody and I got to go see the Jack Dejonette Latin Project at Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor. Giovanni Hidalgo was on the congas. Wow. It was inspiring to see such good musicians having a great time on stage. I can't wait to get behind the kit again.
