We played for these good folks at the Neways convention in Salt Lake City. Some of them (especially those Canadians) could really cut a rug! Thanks to Nadien and Farren lander for the photo.
Ryan and I at the American Fork Amphitheater. That thing growing out of the back of Ryan's head is an overhead drum mic. In other pics from this show, both overheads appear right behind my head, just like antennae. Antennae with cables. So cool.
Joshua Payne, in American Fork. Never was a kinder, gentler guy such a monster player. Truly from another planet. And to think, when he was a kid he was convinced he'd win the Heisman. Even wrote "we're so proud" speeches for my folks.
I hadn't seen Nic in two years before he showed up to load in for this show. He and the family are in Buffalo, NY, where Nic is in law school. God bless 'em. He plays this cool little nesting kit we always called the X-wing Fighter.
Lorin Kartchner took some nice photos of the house concert at Robert and Lori Ferrell's place. Idyllic evening in an idyllic setting.
Here's the terrific audience at the Ferrell house concert (the right side of it anyway). Thanks, guys!
The left-side folks at Ferrell's place. Thanks to you too!
Steve and I opened for Lou Gramm of Foreigner at the Sandy Amphitheater on Friday. Good fun after a week of car trouble (Steve hit a deer coming home from Yellowstone, and I was rear-ended in the Black Hills of South Dakota).
My son, Skyler, snapped these photos of our set at the Lou Gramm show in Sandy.
Joe Anderson (sound magician--if Joe's behind the board, you stop worrying) ran the 4th of July show, and just today sent along a few photos (right on time. It's cooling down, and good to remember summer days). What a gorgeous night. Thanks, Joe!
Cherie Call and me. Cherie is Joe's wife, and writes songs that could save your life on a dark and stormy night. She favored us by singing "Sunflower" with me on the 4th. Such a pleasure.
At Hickson's house, rehearsing for the Sunday fireside. Dan Beck at the table, and between us is Brad Klingler, a terrific performer from the Dallas area who joined us just that afternoon. We did Peter Breinholt's tune, "What about." Thanks, Brad!
