Blue Sky Riders

1.24.13 Showtime. We stand behind the curtain and wait for his introduction. Georgia is calm but excited like the pro she is should be. Kenny has a very satisfied look on his face as if he willed this moment into existence two years ago. The curtain rises. Three and a half minutes later…..we have just officially nailed our first performance on late night TV! (more…)

Today we were actually treated like rock stars. It was on the American taxpayer…but it was probably money better spent on us than on another nuclear sub. They put us up in the W Hotel, a beautiful hotel right in front of the Washington Monument. Wanna feel patriotic? Stare out your window at one of the enduring symbols of freedom. That and a great 9 inch pizza from room service will do it, baby! (more…)

Do you know how you sometimes think how cool it would be to be the President? Then you find out that being the President is a lot of talking to people you don’t want to and posing for pictures and stuff that sucks? How about a baseball player? All glamorous, right? Then you find out they have to play when it’s 110 dgrees out and be constantly worried about being cut or sent down to the minors. How about playing in a band? That’s exciting and glamorous for shizzle! Well, my little acolytes, let me tell you about last night. I will have the rock band fantasy in one font and our reality in the other. (more…)

Seattle stays dark till noon. Well it certainly seems that way. We woke up at 6 (we are such rock stars) and headed to a radio station to do an on air performance and interview. It went as well as could be expected considering we were still sound asleep. They kind of concentrated on Kenny (a little humbling for Georgia and myself, but we can’t enjoy the pluses of being in a band with a famous guy and not be willing to live with the minuses). A lot of these shows only know how to advertise it as “Kenny Loggins with”….cause no one knows who we are yet. Still, I wish they could at least get the name right and call us Blue Sky Riders and not The Blue Sky Riders. Oh well. (more…)
