Hello Dreamwalkers,

The day started sunny. I welcomed Jesse Lipman into our Dreamwalkers family as our roadie and guitar tech. He also plays guitar and sings. As Jesse and I were packing the car I noticed clouds coming in. As we drove out to the venue in Myakka City, it began to rain, and rained steadily. For a brief moment the sun came out to reveal a rainbow, which is usually a good sign. When we got to the venue, the rain continued, but I immediately liked the place and we began to set up.

The digital sound system started out balky but clicked in and things moved smoothly until Tony texted us he was in an car accident and although he was fine, his car was totaled. It was 4.30, we were due to start at 6. I went to collect him. He seemed a little rattled, but really wanted to play. By the time I got him back to the venue it was about 5.58, so we got his gear out and set him up. I presumed the rainbow was for his safety. There were a few brave souls who showed up in their trucks with umbrellas, then almost miraculously, it stopped raining.

Over the next three hours the crowd, which seemed to grow by the moment, showered us with love. We were fun, funny, and engaging. The audience was enjoying us and seemed to respond just as well to our original songs as they did to the cover songs. Debbie's songs were amazing. I had fun with my original numbers and especially enjoyed being the MC for the evening. Dave's voice sounded strong. Tony somehow played brilliantly, and Daniel was our "heartbeat and heart throb" throughout the evening. I felt so very connected to him. We had a great response, they said they wanted us back and the people out there were great.

Tony is alive and healthy. The audience loved us. I don't remember ever enjoying myself on the stage as much as I did last night.

Peace,

Dr Dreamwalker
