"The Guitar Show"
Mike Byrnes has produced and starred in over 450 half hour live-to-tape shows where he invites guitar playing songwriters on to perform and jam. He is a picker (a la Chet Atkins) and plays along on all your songs. THIS WAS FUN. He saw the "Route 22" video and picked up the phone and booked me, all in two weeks time. We shot two half hour shows with 3-4 songs each show with interview. A great crew and easy atmosphere made it an absolute joy to be there. I was so ferklempt and not thinking that I forgot all my chords and even a working amp, but not to worry, all pitched in and we pulled off a couple of fun shows. A youtube trailer should be up soon. Available on NY area CABLEVISION this Monday at 7 (or 7:30) and then again on Saturday evening. Check local listings. Here's Mike and the Cakeman on the set...
