Hope to see you all there!

Third Rail - The Performance

The performance by Third Rail at the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes at Presque Isle went off spectacularly...or at least with no major problems. We all got there at 6am and set up. Karla Mullenax and Scott Wludyga provided commentary between songs. Well, it was mostly Karla -- I don't recall Scott saying more than a few words.

Got quite a few positive congratulations and comments from people that I saw on the walk. It makes it all really worthwhile to get positive feedback and appreciation for the work that we put into it.

Until next year...

Third Rail - JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes on Sunday

Weather permitting, Third Rail will be playing in the band shell outside of Rainbow Gardens (at Waldameer Park, Erie PA) on the morning of Sunday, September 24th, supporting the JDRF's Walk to Cure Diabetes. I'll be playing guitar with a touch of bass. If the weather doesn't hold up, we'll hopefully play indoors. However, I'd greatly prefer to be outside under sun and fresh air.

I especially look forward to playing a reggae tinged version of Come Together/Riders on the Storm. It was a lot of fun during rehearsals, hope it turns out nice onstage.

JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes - Erie

JDRF Walk for Diabetes Part II

The JDRF walk for diabetes went quite good -- Team William raised $270. I played guitar with a bunch of guys from GE in a band called "Third Rail". Here's a pretty cool picture from the stage.
