I played with Dante Spumante again tonight, this time at Cricket on the Hill. This gig went much better than the last one; I had a lot more confidence and felt more comfortable with the original songs. We also threw in a few covers: "Dreams," "Rockin' in the Free World," "Brown-Eyed Girl," and "All Along the Watchtower."

The crowd seemed to like what they heard, and in general, we were much tighter than at the Herman's Hideaway gig. Hopefully this will lead to more gigs at Cricket for Dante Spumante, and in turn, maybe more gigs for me with the band.

Thanks to everyone who showed up for this show. It helps a lot to know that there are friends out in the crowd.
