Greener Pastures

 


It's been a very busy late spring/early summer, with my travels taking me as far as New York for private events, not getting home until 3AM, and suffering a tire blowout the night before.


Luckily, I was able to limp off the highway to change the flat, and find a replacement tire the next morning, so I could make the gig in Tarrytown, NY.



to complicate matters, I was dealing with a puncture wound on my left hand that caused some swelling and much discomfort trying to fret the bass guitar. I had no choice but to power thru.


After all of that, I was ready to relax and have some fun closer to home!


I bought tickets to the Green River Festival on the last of three days (my one day off) and we said good riddance to the previous week's hectic schedule.


Headlined by young upstarts Geese, we were also treated to sets by Lucius (backed by Dawes) Wednesday, Big Frieda, J. Mascis and several other fine acts. It was hot out but after a cooling shower and some welcoming clouds, the sun started to slowly set, and the event ended in spectacular fashion. Rock and Roll is alive and well in out own little backyard of Western Mass.
