Zephyr Express - 5/10/06 - Harrisburg, PA

First off, apologies are in order for slacking on the journal entries this past week. It was a really crazy weekend and a lot has been going on inside and outside the music action. Excuses...

It was a perfect spring evening playing outside in the Zephyr courtyard. Seventy degrees and not a cloud in the sky. I just set up in a corner with my little PA and acoustic guitar and crooned the night away as the sun went down and the stars came out. The low-key acoustic music was very atmospheric and I think it went really well with the whole scene. The outdoor diners seemed to appreciate it, and I certainly appreciated being a part of their evening.

This is the first time I had been back to Zephyr since last summer/fall, so it was great to see my friend Dave again who recently purchased the place. I met Dave back in college when I played at what was The Gingerbread Man (it's now Duke's) in Hershey. I would play on a Thursday every so often and Dave was always the bartender/manager. When he moved to Zephyr in Harrisburg, he was kind enough to look me up and give me some gigs at his new place. It's so cool how friendships develop like that along life's travels...
