Green and Gray

So this is what happens when I get kinda bored. I change the template for my blog. It's a nice new look, sorta sleek and sporty. Like a new toothbrush. Maybe one day I'll get into this enough to make my own little banner at the top. It will have nice pictures, and maybe some wisdom. I'm feeling like a cupcake with a firecracker candle would be rockin'. Yeah, I'm gonna work on that one.

In the meantime, as an update for the new links that I put over here ------>
Nickel Creek is no longer a band, but there is new material coming out for all. For me it was a very sad day when they announced that they would no longer be together as a band. They truly are my fav band ever. I saw them in concert on 8 seperate occasions with opening acts like Mindy Smith, Glen Phillips, Eliot Morris...I even saw a comedian/magician/actor open for them. I can't remember his name now...he wasn't very funny/good/interesting. I've even seen parts of their band in concert three different times. Twice I saw Chris Thile and Mike Marshall perform together, and lately I was able to get to the Various & Sundry tour to see Sean and Sara Watkins with Luke Bulla, Glen Phillips, and Grant Lee Phillips. (If you want to see some fun stuff, go to YouTube and search for 'Various and Sundry exit music'. You shall see the Watkin's Luke Bulla and his sister, and Glen Phillips play a great Radiohead cover.

I guess there comes a time in each bands life when they feel that it's necessary for them to pursue other options and see what they can do on their own. Which is also why baseball has free agency. There's no 'I' in 'team', and no 'I' in 'band', but there is one 'I' in 'Nickel Creek'. Oh well. Thankfully, Glen Phillips is still touring and will be performing at the Freight in February. I'll be there.
