I slept in. I got an amazing night's rest. Kudos to the beds at the Hollywood Westin.
I showed up for lunch & shortly after our day really began. I was included in "the rock stars." However, they all split off to teach most of the ADC attendees to play instruments. I stuck with the songwriting group. We taught a room of 200+ to write a song.
It was weird & not well organized but everyone seemed to like it.
After that we had dinner & I took about 30 minutes to go back upstairs & lay down. It sure felt good - even if it was only 30 minutes.
Then, for the next 2 hours, the folks who ended up being instructed by the "rock stars" had their "recitals." That time was better suited to doing something else but I stood their & watched.
Then, the concert. Jimmy Hall from Wet Willie, Jeff Carlisi from .38 Special, Liberty Devitto from Billy Joel's band, Jack Blades from Night Ranger/Damn Yankees, & a slew of other performers headlined the event. It was fun to get to play with Jimmy Hall again. I really like his style.
My ears were ringing tonight but in a good way.
