The show must go on....yes, please!

Nothing compares to the experience that has been with the Clerics. This is one fo the first gigs that I've have that I'm allowed to do whatever I want, with in the style of music, whatever you call it. I've never been so worn out and drained after a show, then the big show with Tom. Every lick, fill, stick flip, and technique is used, while still remaining quite simple. Throwing my body around, leaving the seat, splitting knuckles, and screaming. No one has more fun then I do. I've watched Tom go from being scared to death of being to loud and rockin', to seeing four guys on stage making folk music, swing and pop, cool for everyone. The crowd grows with you as you ease into the first songs, till your sweating and pumping the audience with good straight ahead music with lots of energy. You spend the whole night just trying to make everyone like it as much as you do.

Then you're done, leaving only crushed PBR and Red Bull Cans, broken drumsticks, and hopefully one more person that says things like, "Wow, you guys rock!, I thought it was going to be like John Denver or some shit, but then you guys kicked ass!" (I wonder what John Denver would've sounded like with The Clerics)
