COLLEGE TOUR - TRAVEL LOG

Sept. 3rd

Kansas City was very kind to us. Our set consisted of 12 songs, including a requested cover of Stevie's "Isn't She Lovely". The show was filled with memorable moments: One random occurrence was during our show I unknowingly stepped on and killed a foot-long snake in the grass. That hasn't happened in a while.

Immediately after the show Stanton, one of the students, walks up to the stage and asks a unexpected question. He said, basically whispered, "I’m not extremely religious but I’m a spiritual man, so I can have fun, so don’t think its weird that I say this, but yall are gonna get laid tonight, aren’t ya?” ... OUR FIRST NON-UTAH gig - And THAT was the first thing anyone said to us.

Later, Stanton asks if he could sing backup behind us, we couldn't figure out any song we knew well enough that he knew. So, after some coaxing from his friends he asks if WE could play a song he wrote. I replied, "Sure, what are the chords?" He responds, "I don't know. I don't play any instruments." I was surprised at his response and didn't know how this could even work. But his friends kept yelling for him to sing and so he gets up there anyway! He just starts to sing. The crowd went nuts! After I get the key - which was B for those wondering :) - I play along, just following his lead. He sang a verse and chorus and the crowd loved every bit of it! Props to Stanton! He was a great singer.

So our first performance was memorable to say the least. Next stop - South Carolina!
