Had a BLAST tonight!  For some reason, I always seem to dread these things walking in, and by the time 10 o’clock hits, I’m like, “Really?  I’m done already?  I have to stop playing now?”  It’s kind of like summer camp.

I made new friends from Old Bridge who hung out for the first stint of the night, and really got me into it from the get-go, and I saw a bunch of friends from the Red Bank Music Community, and more (Jon Bon Jovi came by and told me I was doing a good job).  It was nice to see so many people come out.  It was also nice to play on such a great night!  I mean, Jazz & Blues Festival was going on AND the weather was sublime. 

Mucho thanks to Don Lee and Joe Cullity for lending me the equipment, RiverCenter for booking me, and Red Ginger Home for being a) such great guys and b) such hospitable hosts.  Also had a great time with everyone afterwards: munster cheese is yummy.

Tomorrow (Sunday), I’m off to the Pride Parade, in Asbury Park, then Twisted Tree Cafe’s Open Mic and the RBMC’s Open Mic at the Internet Cafe (it’s Majnun’s last night as our host, so be sure to come see him off right).

    Eric,

    It was great to finally hear you play last night. We had a blast. Thanks for letting me sit in on lead air guitar.

    We just cracked the seal on your 1st CD and are really enjoying the songwriting.
    Thanks for writing me into one of your songs with the line,”Why all the hot girls date my friends.”

    Looking forward to seeing you in a club when we aren’t rushed to see the rest of StreetLife.

    Thanks for all you do for our community.
