It was good to get back together with everyone and play some music. Thanks Dan, Clay, Wayne and Theresa, we couldn't do the show without you! Also would like to thank the Classic Car Museum Of St. Augustine for providing a great background and space for our show. We will decide a January date in the next couple days. Thanks for everyone that joined us tonight!

December 9th, Carpetbaggers DAVE and Sue at Hurricane Grill and Wings - It was still to cold to set up outside the tent, but we had a nice crowd and it was nice and comfortable in the tent. See you next week with Tony Scozzaro. Sue will be in the mountains of Ellijay, Georgia where Theresa, Brianna, Braylen, the one they call Jim and I will meet her and Wayne next week. Can't wait!

December 11th, Carpetbaggers DAVE, Tony, Sue and Frankie at San Sebastian Winery - What a great night! This is a cool place to play. We would like to thank all our friends for coming out. Thanks Kyle and the staff, it was a good time. Frankie, Tony and I will be back tomorrow night same place, same station.

December 12th, Carpetbaggers DAVE, Frankie and Tony at San Sebastian Winery -We had a little rain that slowed the audience down for a little bit, but by the end of the evening the place was rockin'. It looks like we will be doing more gigs here and we apologize for not making it clear where we were playing. If you go davidwattbesley.com, the gigs are correctly posted no matter what the info is on the clubs site. We missed Sue! Theresa, Brianna, Braylen and I will see her and Wayne next Friday in the mountains.

December 13th, OFF Doing some rearranging of equipment in my van.

December 14th, Retrophonics Studios  - My studio session was cancelled for today. We will be back working in a couple of weeks.

I was sorry to hear from Woody about Henry Joe Murphy's passing. We had a couple of hick-ups over the years but I still thought he was a talented performer and songwriter. He will be missed.

It was a great week! I'm looking forward to the Chianti Room on Tuesday and playing with Tony on Wednesday at Hurricane Grill and Wings, then Frankie and Tony on Thursday at the Corner Bar. Thanks for letting me live my dream! 

Keepin' It Real! -David
