New York, New York - Day 2

Five years ago I lived across the street from North Six, the club we played at this evening. Although I was only at the place for three or four months, maybe less, I have some vivid memories of the neighborhood. Jenny and I walked the streets and I pointed out what I remembered and what had changed. We went to the riverbank and looked at Manhattan as it lit up the sky, and we talked about what it might be like to live there now. You never know.

Back at the show we played our set in front of huge fish tanks to a room half full of lounging band members. We were lucky to play with Nervous Cabaret, a band from the area that defined their set with gruff vocals and a horn section. Energy and creativity will make them a memorable band.

At this point I can say I’m feeling a bit pampered spending my nights in a hotel and my days visiting family and hanging with Jenny. It is almost as if tour has ended and I will be beginning a new one again on Thursday. I guess that’s another way of saying this is as close as I have felt to home in a month.
