Linking up with A Good Life and Life Rearranged...

BalconyTV

As I said yesterday, last night Dave recorded a segment with BalconyTV. It should air next week, I'll let you guys know of course, but maybe if you're lucky I'll have a sneak peak video that I shot. ;)

Not only was it exciting for Dave to be doing an interview with BalconyTV, but it was fun to check out Joe's Crab Shack (it was shot on their patio). I haven't been to one since my Dad took my brother and I on one of our vacations to Florida, probably in middle school...






 We got there a little early so we had time to relax and watch the band before Dave and order some drinks...I got the twisted cherry limeade in a mason jar and I highly recommend it. Made me want to stop by Sonic for happy hour.





Dave did his performance and interview and it went wonderful, as always. I loved that it was right on the lake, it's so relaxing out there!




Then we were able to sit back and enjoy our drinks and the atmosphere as another band played. I will say the one downside to being out by the beautiful water was it was 95 degrees last night...and we didn't get much breeze back there. But we made the best of it and still had a great time...


Before we left we ordered one of their big platters and an appetizer to-go. We don't usually eat this kind of food, but we thought we'd go big or go home. Now, I'm not usually one to complain about my food, but we were pretty disappointed when we got home and saw that this (picture above) is all we got for a $16 "big platter". It was supposed to come with fish and chips, shrimp, scallops, and coleslaw...as you can see there was one piece of fish, a few shrimp and scallops, and the tiniest little cup of coleslaw. Womp womp.

Overall it was a great night and I can't wait to see their video!

Music filled home...

Dave has been working on the music for his next EP and I love it. He is constantly writing down lyrics all the time, so to finally have him playing these new songs throughout the house is wonderful. I've heard bits and pieces of a few before, but he has really been developing them this week and it's so much fun to hear them come together...

The other night he did some pre-recordings of a song on his macbook pro. When he hit a certain point I sat on his lap and we listened to it together and made some tweaks and edits...

These moments are my favorite. To me, being a musician's wife isn't about the crazy and wild experiences that may come along with it, it's the little moments like this...the ones when we create together. Now, I know I'm not a musician, but I do have a few things to say when it comes to music...

And even in the moments when I know what I'm thinking, but I don't quite know the technical term for what I'm trying to explain needs to be changed or added in the song, Dave knows what I'm trying to say. We feed off of each other and I like to think it takes the music to a completely different level.


Speaking of the music, Dave is performing for BalconyTV tonight! This is something that Mumford and Sons did back before their album went big, so it could be a great experience. It will air in a few weeks, so I'll keep you all updated on that!

What song do you all think he should perform? Your opinions are greatly appreciated!
