GREG LASWELL

Another concert this week. The wonderful Greg Laswell. SO good. The lovely Jordyn Canady joined me for this one and we had a freakin rockin time. It was at the Avalon Theater. A small venue. We got front row seats (don't be too impressed, it's not hard to do) so it was a nice view.

There were a few openers for Greg. A guy named Dustin Christensen opened first. Love his stuff. Mellow, and just good. He doesn't have a CD out yet but look him up.

What comes next I hope no one will ever have to go through... What does a french horn, electric guitar/lead singer, acoustic guitar, bass player, drums, girl singer, and electric piano equal? Answer: A terrible music overload of 7 BYU students who thought it would be cool to be in a band. Seriously, talk about ruining music for me. The lead singer was trying so hard to be funny. Didn't happen. The great thing about this sad story is that two of the guys in the "band" used to be in one of my wards and would always try to get everyone to come to their so called concerts. Are you ready for the cool band name they came up with? Yarrow. What does that even mean? Now if you happen to be reading this and happen to know slash love the Yarrow then I am sorry. You have horrible taste in music and should not admit you know them. Ok I'm really not that mean. I guess they just are not my style. Maybe you should decided for yourself?  

Moving on to real music...Greg's opener is a band from New York called Harper Blynn. Loved them! They are also Greg's band for the tour. They are 4 crazy lookin dudes who are freakin awesome. Really check them out. They also did a freakin sweet cover of Halo. Loved them.

Now Greg finaly came. Uh-ma-zing. always love him. If you haven't ever heard of him then most definitely look him up cause you will not be dissapointed.

After the show we stuck around and got autographs and pitures. Awesome, really nice guys. $15 well spent.

 Story about the man who took this photo: I don't think I have ever come across someone who had a problem with taking a picture for someone else until now. So we ask this like old guy behind us if he would take a picture for us with my camera and Jordyn's camera. He starts going off about how it would be easier and faster to take it with one camera and says you both must know which camera is better and wanted us to choose one. And he was freaking out like is everything set and ready? And so we agreed to just taking one picture, heaven forbid he push two buttons. I look at the picture to see how it turned out and it was totally blurry. So I make him take another one and he kinda hesitates all mad like. Then turns out when it’s his turn he takes a gazillion years. What a weirdy. So rude and unnecessary.
