We played tonight in South Carolina. It was a good show, but a very quiet crowd. Josh Moore is really sick and missed tonight's show, leaving me with a lot of space to fill.
We went to see Semi-Pro tonight, the new Will Ferrell movie. I had high hopes, alas, twas not really a good flick. Oh well.
I've been reading this book by Geoff Emerick, the engineer for a great portion of the later Beatles records. It's pretty fascinating. He talks a tiny bit about the gear, which I love, but it's more his inside, yet still outside, look at the rise and fall of the band. Geoff was the guy who first ran John's vocal through the Leslie cabinet, and then two years later had to try and ignore Yoko to get stuff done. Crazy stories. A very good read. I'm finding myself completely lost in it, and I'm loving it. (CLICK HERE for the Amazon link.)
All right, I'm going to bed. We play in North Carolina tomorrow and I'll get to see Alison's folks. Should be a good time.
And now I'm going to leave you with some pictures from last week's Andy and the Andy's show...

Sorry we were quiet, you guys were awesome. And I just have to say, way to rock the I'm Gonna Let it Shine shirt! (I was gonna wear Watch it Grow to the concert but of course it was dirty.... Oh well.)
I'm looking foward to tonight's show! It's been almost 2 years since I've seen Caedmon's. I'm ready to be rocked out!
I wonder if the "quiet crowd" thing is a Christian phenomenon. I've found that Christians as a group seem to not know how to act at a concerts. For example, leaving the stage last night, I heard a guy say, in a mid-level voice, "We want to hear more." I thought "How odd-- why not just applaud loudly and give a few whoops?"
Anyone have any theories on why Christian concert crowds are so subdued?
Great show Andy. Phenomenal rendition of When Will I Run. Loved the extended Hold The Light and Expectations. Sorry about the subdued crowd, but know that it we left wanting more!! Keep it up.
I felt the same way about Semi-Pro. It had its moments, but I thought it was rather blah overall.
get well soon josh. it's really been hanging on. just hope that it isn't some other caedmon's turn next :(
Yesterday I heard NPR say that Will Ferrell is becoming Rob Schneider... no new tricks.
Great show! My wife and I loved it and you made my night by sticking around and talking with us. You are the man. Great start to my three consecutive nights getting to see Caedmon's (the greatest band ever).
i have never heard guitar live like that.
thank you, andy. it was mind-boggling.
& i deem ThaT "pretty."
thanks for bearing with the church crowd.
next time in g'vegas you should play @ the handlebar.
=O)
You guys were great! Man, that musta been tough playing all of Josh's parts. That guy is crazy talented. Must have been some big shoes to fill. I would hate to be the guy or girl who had to make up for the wunderkind.
You did great though.
