Wow! What a whirlwind weekend! I am so exhausted at the moment and could probably sleep for a week but this update needed to get out. So many things happened in four days that I just had to write it down just so I could remind myself of what an awesome time I had.
Wednesday I flew to the Spelled Moon camp to do a photoshoot. Our photographer was amazing and getting to know him was even better seeing as we share a lot of the same philosophies on life. He is a brilliant artist as well and I encourage you to check out his work here…. Danker. The next morning we headed out for NAMM. Claudio Pesavento, Patrick Johansson, Joe Petro, Andy Sarcone Rooney, and myself.
I’ll share the highlights for you seeing that there was so much to this weekend…..
“David Reed Watson! David Reed Watson!”
Taylor and I turning around looking everywhere thinking this
was one of our friends yelling for me only to find out that it was a young lady calling for me. She came up to me and explained to me that she has been following my music career for 4 years! She had been following me since ‘The Constant’ in Los Angeles. This pretty much knocked me off my feet. I mean, we’re used to seeing this happen to famous people… but me? Who am I really in the whole scheme of things? I sat back to reflect on this. If we could all realize the impact we make on others and their lives this world might just have half a chance.
Getting to meet Jeff Scott Soto and being able to thank him for the gig with Rage of Angels. You see, Jeff was Ged Rylands first pick to do the album but with Jeff’s heavy touring schedule it was not possible for him to do it.
Thank you Jeff for opening that door for me. Great guy and a brilliant musician.
I ran into Tommy Denander. Always a pleasure seeing him. He’s one of the greatest guitarists on this planet who’s resume is… extensive to say the least. He introduced me as ‘a great singer from America’ and introduced me to a great singer in Spain. Awesome.. Awesome.
I would like to thank Rod Miller for hooking me up with my first set of in-
ear monitors. They are UE-7s made by Ultimate Ears.
I sat down in the chair and they electronically made a 3D mold of each ear. This will go great with my Sennheiser system that Jason Froberg got for me. Thanks guys!
As exhausting as NAMM is I wouldn’t miss it for the world. I look forward to doing all again next year.
Peace,
David
