Just got done playing a gig in the park after the parade. It was to benefit a youth foundation and I don't know which one.

Anyway...a keyboard player sat in with us and sounded great. He's gigged in L.A. for some time and is living here now. He just happens to work where Mrs. Spud works too. No rehearsals. I just wrote down the song titles and keys and off we went. It sounded really good and put the other bands to shame (modestly repeating what I was told).

Tonight we are doing a large outdoor party ala Krashpad style. It's out of town along a creek in the forest and is an annual event. Darrin the keyboardist will be playing with us also. He's packing a Hammond B3 and Leslie. What a monster...but it sounds great.
