I just learned that the local public broadcasting system will be on site for my gig tomorrow night to film a one hour program. There must be a dozen other venues I'd rather they film this at but its not my call. I also would've preferred a little more notice but...I'm not complaining, lol...

The structure of the hour is:

open
1st interview
20 minutes of me playing
2nd interview
commercial
20+ minutes of me playing
3rd interview
close with credits rolling over me playing

...The program will run six times per week (M, W, F, twice on SAT and once on SUN) through the month of December...The exposure certainly won't hurt...

...Man,I HOPE there's a lot of people there when I start. Its a nice Italian restaurant but I've just started to build up a following there. Most of their previous shows focus on bands playing rock, country or bluegrass in bars with big, rowdy crowds...The host has already said, "We've never had anyone like you on yet." This will be in a dimly lit lounge with an entirely different vibe...

Oh boy, lol....

...Sooooooooooooooooo...If you're not busy tomorrow, drop on in! Drinks are on me...(The more you drink, the better I sound, lol)

...I'll get a DVD of this, which I'll hopefully post to my website so everyone can check it out...

Should be interesting...

Bill

Bill ... what a GREAT opportunity ... knock 'em dead ...
For the publicity, the owner should be offering some real 'specials' to get a crowd in there ...

Bill...
Congratulations. It's the first time I have ever known a OMB to be featured in such a way.

By the way, the Shreveport Arranger Jam DVD has been running on PBS in Benton, Arkansas since spring. I KNOW yours will be better than that!
