“I had a breakthrough, suddenly I was 15 and sitting in front of Cosmo’s factory, watiting anxiously for that camouflage jeep to pull in. For me, Saturday night at Konocti Harbor Resort & Spa was all about being 15 again. the renewed energy of seeing my hero on stage (no not Rick Roberts, JOHN FOGERTY). It was like old home night, my good buddies at the William Morris Agency in Nashville had pre-arranged my passes and I was welcomed at the door by the infamous Greg Bennett (GM). With Lil James (my 8yr old Son) in tow and wide eyed as I was at that age, we were seated only a few rows back. By 9:00 PM my guy hit the stage running and performed hit after hit while mixing in some of the current stuff. The crowd was filled with electricity (and Benett’s pockets filled with cash) ... ;-) There really is something about rock-n-roll never forgetting. It was MAGIC. I anticipated every guitar lick note for note as I did at Cosmos Facory. I left the concert with a new lease on life, then half way home I realized I had forget my son back at the club… (just kidding, I didn’t forget…). I made up that part. By mid-night, I was back home again, and whatever took place in that concert would impact the rest of my life, and with a re-birth of creative energy I wrote 3 songs this folowing week. I picked up one of Fogerty’s new CD “Revival” and I am one happy camper this Memorial weekend. Hope everyone has a good one.
