Woke up and hung around the house for a bit. Met Sean at the church at 9am to practice for the show that night. We practiced until 10:30 or so and then I went home. Ashlin and Claire had gone to a friend's house so Shelly, Levi, Carley, and I went out for lunch to On The Border in Denton. After lunch Shelly took Carley to do some shopping and Levi and I headed to Guitar Center in Lewisville for a few items (Djembe stand, new capo, and new screen for a beat up SM58).
Got back to Sanger around 1:45, laid Levi down. Tried the new capo out (Dunlop's Trigger capo... very nice). Shelly picked up Ashlin & Claire and they got home around 2:15. Took a short nap. Then back up to hang with the kids.
Met Sean at the church again around 5pm to load up and head to the Roasted Bean. Set up equipment and started the show around 6 or so. The crowd was good but not as good as we'd hoped. I didn't care that people come see us, I just wanted a bunch of people to show up to support the coffee house. I don't want them to go under or anything! That is my office away from office!
Wrapped up the show around 8pm., loaded the gear up and headed home. 4 college students came over and we chatted until 12:45am. Hit the bed hard...

You and sean rocked it man! and i will now be supporting your little coffee house by buying a salad from them almost every day!
Hey Robert..tell us a little about your set..I missed the broadcast.
We opted not to do a 100% worship set. We did several praise and worship songs but also worked in several other radio hits including artists such as Smashmouth, Dashboard Confessionals, Sugar Ray, Collective Soul, Matchbox 20, and others.
We've learned that historically p&w songs kill the atmosphere pretty quick in a coffee house setting. Sad but true.
There is a new coffee house opening up about 4 blocks from my house.. I want to get with the people that are opening it up and maybe do the same thing you're doing. I had the same thoughts you gave regarding the music...I need to work on my repertoire as my background on music... as far as what I play... is either old Texas country from the 80's,some Jimmy Buffett and all I've played since becoming a follower of Christ has pretty much been CCM/P&W. I look forward to listening to your muxtape for some insight as to some things that might fit...thanks.
I love to watch my husband play percussion. He is very good and looks rather cool doing it!
I know what you're really trying to say baby...
Why do I feel like I've just walked in to a room where the door should have been closed?
