What a great show to cap off our insane four days of traveling, gigs, and personal obligations! Heather and I were both happy to find a packed house when we arrived in Cedar Park, Texas. We had many fans waiting for us, and the requests started coming in a half an hour before we started performing. We laughed our way through three solid hours of music, and even though we were sleep deprived, we still had a ton of energy left at the end of the night!
This past Wednesday, we had a private Dueling Pianos show, so Heather drove down from Fort Worth and I drove from San Marcos, and we met in Bourne, TX. After that show, Heather had to drive back to Fort Worth because she had to do her final fitting for her wedding dress, and they only would do it on Thursday afternoon. I moved my father-in-law into a new house while she was picking up her dress, then she drove from Fort Worth to meet me in New Braunfels to perform another private event Dueling Pianos show. Afterwords, we went to Live Band Karaoke (not to play, just just to show our support) before heading back to my house in San Marcos. We got up Friday morning and had to run a few errands before heading to Houston near NASA for a show, and as we were getting ready, Heather got a call saying that her family were all going to meet in Port Aransas this morning at 7am for an impromptu memorial service to honor her grandmother’s passing, so I offered to drive her there so she could sleep in the car and be able to get some rest. So Friday afternoon at 4:30pm, we headed towards NASA to play a show, finish the show, got in the car and drove to Port Aransas, where we arrived at our motel at 5am. I slept while she took care of her family business, and we got in the car at noon to head back to San Marcos, where we both took naps until it was time to leave for our show in Cedar Park tonight. After the show, she headed back to Fort Worth, and I headed home to San Marcos.
All this info to say I ended up driving 909 miles in four days, she drove an additional 912 miles totaling 1,821 miles in the car for her to bring 11 hours of music to people! No wonder I’m tired.
