Dallas - Day #2
Saturday:I took my time getting up.
- I'm on vacation
- the breakfast buffet doesn't close until 11:00 am
- there are no events until 2:00pm.
We hung out after breakfast watching TV. We headed over the the hotel where the festivities were taking place and positioned ourselves at the bar and had a few drinks. Boy, I was thirsty in Texas!
2:00 to 4:00 pm: Q & A session with Steve (Luke) Lukather and Dave LaRue. Ask them whatever you like. Very cool to get their perspective on the music business, touring, equipment, current crop of musician, the future of music/musicians, their influences, and how they got started. We got to play with their guitars and basses. We hung out and chatted with them. They are both so down to Earth and approachable considering how well they play and how well respected they are in the business.
More time in the lounge hanging out with the group. Dinner wasn't until 7:30.
Saturday night: Cajun buffet. Crawfish etoufe, Shrimp Creole, jambalaya, and blackend grouper. Killer!
After dinner the birthday boy's band played a set. Then the All Star band (Luke, Dave, John Ferraro, Tony Spinner) played for over an hour. I was blown away. I've seen Dave LaRue a few times with Steve Morse but I've never seen Luke or the rest of the band play. They were great.
Excellent time with all the musicians & new friends.
