Christmas at the Canyon Inn

We basically had a Ying/Yan experience this last weekend, Dec. 22-23 at the Canyon Inn. Thursday all we could do was keep asking ourselves, what was wrong. It wasn't that it was a bad crowd, it just wasn't very big and very few of the few that were there danced. We just had the occasional guy get out on the dance floor and let 'er rip for a song or just part of a song and then guys kept coming up and singing with us. It was an interesting harmony mix to say the least. Friday though was great. We had Dori sing a few songs with us and that was great. We got to see a lot of our friends, Sonya, Jerry, Reece, and many others and we all had a good time getting ready for the holidays. The dance floor was always packed. There was a lot of love in the air and a lot of energy going back and forth around the room. We ended at 1:00 but the crowd wouldn't let us stop so we ended up playing 3 extra songs and ended at 1:20 then everyone seemed to just hang out and we couldn't get out the door with our equipment until 2:00. Still it was fun and is one of the reasons we like to play. We'll be back there in February, which is a little long to wait but we'll be playing some other places in the mean time. We all hope you had a great Christmas and that your new year will be all that you deserver and more. Tom

Canyon Inn (by Matt)

We had a total blast at the Canyon Inn last weekend. It was packed with people and there was a really good mood in the room. It reminded me of a time I saw Jane's Addiction play at the fairgrounds the week of Christmas when they were at their prime. Nothing but good feelings all around. Thanks to everyone that was there for making it such a great time for the band because when the audience loves it, we love it!

Rock On!

The Canyon Inn - Oh What a Weekend!!

Matt and I were talking about the gig at the end of Saturday night and how tired and exhausted we felt and he said "We left it all on the stage." You know we did and what a feeling to be able to do that and to have such great crowds that get into it so much. I know it makes my day. It was great to have the dance floor filled, to watch people dancing by the pool tables and in the isles. It was great to celebrate number 50 with Jerry and to see Sonja again with all her friends from JetBlue. She's kind of the last connection we have with Bill, may his musical soul rest in peace. We miss Bill but being a three piece band and playing every night with everything we have has taken what I feel about playing music to a whole new level and it's great. We look forward to playing there again on Dec. 22-23. Who knows what it will be like that close to Christmas but just being able to get together and play music will be good. BTW, if you haven't seen the movie "Walk the Line" let me recommend it to you. I know that's an off the wall comment but it was a great movie that I could really relate too. Until next time, Tom

Canyon Inn Dec. 9-10

We're going to be playing at the Canyon Inn this weekend. I'm sure it will be a great time and the place should fill up since ski season is here. We play from 9:00-1:00 so arrive early if you want to get a table close to the band.
The Canyon Inn is at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon at 7200 South and Wasatch Drive. It's next to a 7-11 and the Porcupine Grill.

Seeya there!
