The Walter Mittys: It's SHOWTIME!

30 January 2010

It's SHOWTIME!

In twelve hours we'll be a half-hour into our set at tonight's benefit dance for the fire victims of Northampton and Holyoke Mass.

I'll be heading south to the Florence VFW around five this evening. My fellow Walter Mittys will probably all be there around 5:30 (they all live closer).

The host band and the arrangers of this fund-raiser, the Bum Steers, will no doubt be there, coordinating the logistics of the event.

Walter Mittys drummer, Paul, and myself on bass, were once members of the Bum Steers—in fact, that's where we met. That band is full of great guys who have always made "having a good time" priority one. They're all originally from the city of Northampton, so this arson tragedy—no pun intended—"really hit home."

It's an honor to be invited to help with this cause. And, musically, I look forward to sharing the stage with these guys tonight.

My band—the Walter Mittys—are ready.

It's SHOWTIME!
