I had one of those dreams last night. It had been a full day of burgers, swimming, sunburning, swimming, chips and dips, swimming, driving, sitting on a hill amongst thousands of sunburned and burnt out people watching fireworks, driving, enjoying Ken's Karaoke Open Mic (Bomb Shelter Open Mic). It was a long full day. The dream was one which I have had many times. It was a big School for the Dead show. We were setting up to play, people were arriving to watch, I was running back and forth trying to set everything up, figuring out technical problems. Kevin O'Rourke (Lo-Fine) was playing piano in addition to Ken already playing two keyboards. Nothing was working right. The crowd was growing and people were getting anxious. Finally, everything was ready to go and I woke up.

I have a similar dream often. All preparation no payback. Welcome to the life of an indie musician.

I have been enjoying reading the histories of you guys here. Mine is not as detailed and varied as yours all seem to be. I've already written most of it here: Henning's Bio, although it does need to be updated. I'll work on it.
