The CD release show at City Limits in Delray was a great night for local music (Video of the show will be up soon). Marie Nofsinger started out the night with her warmth and way of singing that speaks to each person in the room. She's the best! For her last song, Andy, Sean, John, and I joined her in "Broken Heart" written by my close friend, Donny Hales, from the band Zeke.

Next was John Ralston's Invisible music. Andy and I had the honor of playing in John's band over the last month. A modern day Mamas and Papas. SO GOOD. John's working on a new album, check out his blog. recordingwildandfree.blogspot.com
Then Black Finger. . . us. . . our new drummer, Jesse Dalton (best name in rock n roll). We started the set with "Where's My Parade". Our friends (Invisible Music) joined us on stage. One big party set the tone for our rock n roll assault. myspace.com/blackfingermusic.
After us, David Baron played with his hired musicians and cleared half the club. . . nice guy, but . . . american idol thing going on and I'm not talking finalist. . . . we were promised he'd draw a crowd... not so much. . . .he shouldn't have been on the show ok, enough. you live and learn. the bright side is that much of our crowd was able to leave at a descent hour. I know my Mom appreciated it.
NOW, the moment you've waited for. YES, Bill Meredith (our former drummer) has threatened us with an injunction to stop distribution of WMP pending a courtroom showcase showdown that will most likely put all the money into lawyer's pockets. What? ? I know. . . We're baffled to say the least and sure he doesn't have a case. Gonna stay at bay for now, but we'll keep you posted. Hopefully he will do the right thing and this won't be an issue.
Lastly, we're playing SunFest on the mainstage Thursday, April 30th before James Taylor and thinking about playing all Carly Simon tunes. wouldn't that be sweet. . . till next time. All the best. Greg
