More Sphinctor Sheldon

Further…

• It was a terrific night for the Colin Sphinctor cd release party. The cd, titled "The Colin Sphinctor Band" (though some were referring to it as simply "The Brown Album")
• Carol Eder provided a stunningly refreshing jazz guitar improvisation as a prologue to “Tucumcari Tonight”
• It was also a celebration of Brain Sandwich mayhem, brought about through the hard work of Mike Madonna. Thanks Mike. Check out the Brain Sandwich stuff at http://brainsandwich.bravehost.com/
• Mark and Judy Moebeck highlighted their thespianic talents.
• Jay Schober was on hand, helping to Stomp Rats – figuratively, of course.
• The entire evening was captured through the photographic wizardry of Mike Bizelli. Look for pictures soon.

Old friends were there, new friends were there, and we enjoyed seeing them all.

And, dude - it was The Sheldon.

The Colin Sphinctor Band at The Sheldon Concert Hall

You would think…

You would think that playing at the legendary Sheldon Concert Hall would be a noteworthy event in any musical career. After all, it is acclaimed worldwide for its perfect acoustics. The classic setting has been host to performances such as Dave Brubeck, Doc Watson, Bela Fleck, Al DiMeola, Crosby & Nash, David Grisman, and far too many others to mention in this small space.

You would think the sound system to be professionally manned, and sound to be in peak form.

You would expect that the performers would be excited and eager to play.

You would be correct on all counts.

The folks at the Sheldon could not have been nicer – or more professional. Sarah in Marketing, Tim the sound guy, Dale Benz – Operations Manager, all went out of their way to make sure that everything was exactly as it should be. As a musician – whether you are Bonnie Raitt, or The Colin Sphinctor Band, this is all you can ask for.

Thanks mostly to all of the folks that came to share the fun.
