I picked up Mikey Gammon last night from his house in Austin in the pouring rain, then headed to Marble Falls, TX to perform a fun request-based piano show for the cool crowd at AJ's. The rain fell harder as the requests flooded my piano, and eventually, the storm knocked out the power to the bar. Twice. We kept the party going until the generators popped the power back on. Towards the end of the night, Mikey showed off his mad skills by playing a solo in the dark using his electric sticks during the final drum solo of Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll". Plus, we had a great song battle between "Freebird" and "Not Freebird". Not Freebird won with $36.
It was a good night all the way up through the drive home in one of the worst downpours I can remember in recent history!
