May 25th, Retrophonics Studios - Jim and I listened to all the tracks I played to make sure they were ready for the rest of the Carpetbaggers to come in and work on. I think this week Brady Green will be putting down some Bass tracks. I headed home after session and rested for a few hours and then Theresa and I headed for Bagan and Company to do our "Live" show with The Carpetbaggers. The show went great, it's always a pleasure to hang out and play with this band. Also Dan, Clay and Theresa did a great job. Brady Green joined us on "Change The World" our last song.

May 26th, OFF - It was a nasty rainy day, I got nothing done and it felt good.

May 27th, Carpetbaggers DAVE and Sue at Hurricane Grill and Wings - We had some bad weather (rain, we really needed) but it held off for our show pretty much. Mark's family was in town for his services. I didn't know Mark well but he was always nice to be around when he stopped by our gigs. His family seemed very cool. I was also sad to hear of the passing of Inga Erickson our friend for many years.

May 28th, Carpetbaggers DAVE, Sue, Tony and Frankie at The Corner Bar - This is our second week back and the crowd is getting bigger. It looks like things are trying to get back to normal. Thanks everyone for supporting Carpetbagger's music. See you next week!

May 29th, DAVE at Aunt Kate's - Brian was sure it was going to rain and rain a lot so I set up inside. I will admit the weather looked terrible but it didn't rain. I still had a nice night inside but most folks were outside. Hopefully Sunday will be better.

May 30th, DAVE at Creekside - The weather held, the place was packed and I had a great time! It's good to see Creekside opening up again. Everyone did a great job and they really took care of me and my family. Thanks!

May 31st, DAVE at Aunt Kate's - DAVE - A long hot day! I still had a great time as always! Thanks Brian, Dave, Tina and staff you guys are the best!

Looking forward to laying down some bass tracks at Retrophonics Studios for the new Carpetbaggers CD "Back Again" songs written by Besley, Reeves and Westcott.
