Show with John Faye last night

Kirk and I (as Nine Times Blue) opened for John Faye (of Caufields, John Faye Power Trip and Ike) as well as Cliff Hillis. They are what I consider professional singer/songwriters (as in this is their job, they have big league tallent and sounded damn near perfect).

I also got a new guitar to use for this show. A Michael Kelly "Hybrid" acousic electric. I think this might be going back to the store. It, like most Hybrid things does two things, but not as well (on either side) as I hoped.

I thought we had a good set, a good audience, good sound system, but our guitars clashed and I am not sure if it was the new guitar or that Kirks had not been intonated in a long long time.

I think in the future we may be better off with me playing lead on Kirks songs and then doing a few solo rather than trying to keep the two guitar thing going... or just improve our gear.

John and Cliff did 5 song sets and traded off about every 1/2 hour. I liked this way of doing things. They did play "Purple Rain" together as an oncore.
