the new years show-how minus 28 feels from the stage

Posted on January 4th, 2009 by David Usher

well it was cold. it was minus 28 with the wind and i have to admit that was the coldest outdoor winter show ive ever done:)

my hand burn from the cold on the mic when i first touched it and i knew it was going to be a bit painful. for some reason i took off my jacket, habit, stupidity, for the fun of it. anyways not smart. jon was the real hero. guitar strings are thin and sharp when frozen. i played on “some people say” and that was enough for me. jon did the whole set, played amazing. when he got off his fingers were frozen and he was quite worried the next day that he had done some damage. to everyone that came, thanks for sticking with us. in the end it was a really fun show and one ill remember.
(i know im making it sound like we traveled to the north pole on snow shoes:)

ps im going to post the rankings of all the song ideas for the acoustic record in the next day or so
