DOWN A DARK ALLEY WITH SOME GHOSTS (video)

Christmas lights and living room lamps illuminated the scene last weekend at Old Style Guitars, where we played an (almost) acoustic set in the by-now-somewhat-famous alley behind Reuben Cox's ace little music store.

Despite freezing fingers and a missing Sean Burgess on drums, we had an amazing night. Beate, my sister-in-music and life from back in the London days, filled in beautifully on percussion and quite a few people showed up to make this a very cool night for UG indeed. The sound was helped by a special warm "alley reverb" that is hard to describe and probably impossible to reproduce anywhere else (although it would make a great name for a stomp box).

One slightly older gentleman was so moved by the performance, he stuck a twenty in my pocket! Unusual, but definitely not unwelcome for the after-party beer fund.

All in all a great time. Thanks to Reuben and Kelly Jones, who was the other act playing that night, for having us. If you missed it, lucky for you here is video evidence! Check out three songs filmed that night below and enjoy.
