It was a great show for a great cause. I had a lot of fun playing mostly covers for the supportors of this year’s Hershey’s Relay for Life. Braving the wind and the rain, I was one of several performers throughout the 2 day event.

I went on at midnight on Friday after a set by Andy Fausnacht from the band Rutland. Andy’s music is reminiscent of Howie Day and the Goo Goo Dolls. He’s a really good artist and I’m looking forward to doing a show with him and Rutland in the near future. Check out some of their songs at http://www.myspace.com/rutlandmusic.

After Andy finished up, I jumped on stage and performed for an hour. I had a great a time and it was a blast playing for my friends from JPL and the other people at the event. Since we had a Vegas theme, I couldn’t go throughout the night without a special rendition of Elvis’s “Suspicious Minds”. I finished with a medley and a cell phone salute from my friends.

Although it was a great time, it was still a very emotional event, honoring over 65 survivors and raising over $137,000 for the ACS. I’m really hoping my little contribution has helped and I’m looking forward to participating in the 2007 Relay for Life.
