Finally got to play the Big Apple
« on: September 09, 2008, 06:58:01 PM »
After nearly 25 years of playing in various bands, I finally got a gig in New York City last weekend.  The Rayguns did a show at Banjo Jim's on the Lower East Side.  Also on the bill was a trio that included Dennis Diken from the Smithereens.

The crowds were rockin' and we all had a great time.  Also did shows in Blacksburg Va and Baltimore.  Put over 1300 miles on the van...



Hopefully we'll be back.  Made a connection for The Rodeo Bar and possible Big Nose Kate's...
