Blue Sky Riders

There will be no complaining about the show tonight. No whining about stairs…no judgmental opinions of hardworking people who paid their money to come to a concert. You know why? (more…)

Let me tell you all about the wonderful things about last night’s show at the B#%#y #% in #%**#%. About three songs into our Blue Sky Riders set last night, a woman in the audience at the foot of the stage right in front of Kenny handed him a note that said, “Play your OLD stuff!” We have a line in our song “Dream” that says “As if all I’ve been’s all I’m ever gonna be for the rest of my life.”  I would like to have that line engraved on a beautiful piece of wood, possibly Mahogany or Teak… and #%%* her across the ##^*%.

It wasn’t a good omen when dinner was spaghetti and lasagna. Our band is pretty carb and gluten free and we certainly don’t eat cheese before a show. Bet you didn’t know there were so many rules to this, did you? (more…)
