I'm in Brooklyn with the Susan Cowsill folks, staying with friends. The Cowsills gang (Bob, Paul and Ryan) are on their way home and now begins the SCB (Susan Cowsill Band) leg of the tour.
Sunday we drove from Boston to Long Island for our SCB house concert. We were engaged in a brief power struggle with our GPS unit and encountered a pretty serious storm, so our drive took many hours. When we arrived on Long Island, our triumphant outdoor show was clearly a wash, so we set up quickly for an indoor acoustic show. We played a bunch of Susan's song, a little Tad and Aaron set, then some local guys played some classic rock with the crowd singing along. Overall, the acoustic show turned out to be a nice thing, loose and fun all the way around.
Monday we got up EARLY (for a bunch of musicians) and drove to the city. Susan had a couple of radio shows to do with Bob & Paul, so we needed to be there in the morning. Russ, Aaron and I spent the day sound-checking and wandering around Times Square, and I finally had some pizza that lived up to the NYC hype. John's pizzeria ("no slices") was delicious, and we stuffed ourselves.
The show at BB King's was a blast, and the crew there was outstanding in every way. The sound was excellent, the staff took great care of us, the crowd was fantastic, and the Cowsills put on a great show. I can't wait to head back to BB King's again.
More later...
