Tomorrow night, 9PM Tuesday December 2nd at Whiskey Bill's in Bellevue.

I'll be playing "The Book" to celebrate this wondrous occasion. I'll also have the 1537-1 there in double drop D and the Custom Elite 12. The Snake will be backup.

Just a solo gig... I'm excited!

Damon would it be rude to ask what your playlist is going to be? :)

Great going, Damon. Relax and have fun. If you enjoy yourself, so will your listeners. This season is the most demanding on my schedule for the entire year: eight rehearsals and 14 performances over the next two weeks, most of it being stage work.

Damon, like ProfBB said, relax, have fun and enjoy the experience. Oh yea, and don't spend all your earnings on whiskey and beer at your performance and give it back to "Whiskey Bill". Break a leg !!

Wow thanks everyone. I wish you could all be there too (especially since I'm getting a % of the bar :D )

Flacky, here's what I put together so far, but I'll probably change it 3 or 4 times before the day is over. I still need to get some more diversity in there, but this is what I know best. I have some others, but if I'm going to stay relaxed and have fun, I'm going to stick with these.

(DD) is double drop D, (12) is 12 string, and (C2) is capoed at 2nd fret...

• Bartender - Dave Matthews (DD)
• Cinnamon Girl - Neil Young (DD)
• Don't Let It Bring You Down - Neil Young (DD)
• Crush - Dave Matthews (DD)
• Disease - Matchbox 20 (C2)
• Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town - Pearl Jam
• Gravedigger - Dave Matthews
• I Am Mine - Pearl Jam
• Needle and the Damage Done - Neil Young
Break
• I Believe In Miracles - Pearl Jam
• Dancing Nancies - Dave Matthews
• I Am a Child - Neil Young (12)
• Typical Situation - Dave Matthews (12)
• Grace is Gone - Dave Matthews (12)
• Lightning Crashes - Live
• Wild World - Cat Stevens
• Down By The River - Neil Young (DD)
• Ohio - Neil Young (DD)
• Black Water - Doobie Brothers (DD)

And if my friend Todd wants to, I'll have him come up and do a keys solo on:
• From The Beginning - Greg Lake (12)

He'll be there, it's his watering hole, but it depends on how much "water" he's had.

Knock 'em dead, Damon. And, above all, have fun.
