It's been one year since I made my first appearance at the Sanctuary.  I think we came a long way.  I think I have gotten better even tho' I still deal with the stage jitters.

Beyond The Sun made its debut tonight. For a song that was written 10 years ago it still holds true today.  Breakups are never fun and it takes a while for me to even consider going out on a date anymore.  I know Julie wants to find that special somebody, someone to help her through life and help her around the house.  I wasn't much help, I'd get in the way and make things worse.  But I can't compete with a ghost of somebody who passed away three years ago and left her broken heart.  And truthfully, she still morns him.  We still love each other but as friends.  Like it has always been.

I went over Beyond The Sun  last night and couldn't complete it without crying.  It was written earlier about my last day with Olivia when she came to visit me in 2000 and seeing our love crumble.  It also reminded of the time that I moved my last GF back to her state.  It remains a depressing song and I don't know if I'll play it again.

So I had to end things on a uptempo note and went with You Can't Judge A Book.  Logic And Lies went over pretty well, so did If I Had My Way, the best reaction was on Sundown.   Darryl and Phil said that was a excellent version that I did.

Shawn Ster played with a cold before hand but he did stick around to see all of my set.   It's funny how the special guest star for Tyrus 34 years ago has been a major part of my jams and such.  He has a fairly good job of supporting.   We may not agree on politics but as musicians we support the causes. That's all that matters.

Shawn and Darryl and Phil did have about six songs in their set.  I entertained a thought about going into Summertime Blues from Can't Judge a Book but decided against it.

Cotton Thompson has disappeared from the open mic and has gotten very bizarre of late with his pro Christ and pro Conservative way of thinking.  I do feel sorry for him, and was hoping he would do better.   The Artisan Sanctuary Open Mic has always had a lot of performers that have come and gone.  And will as long as Jim Jacobmeyer keeps doing it.
