DRH Photo Love...

...courtesy of Erik Thureson (the kick ass photog who took THESE photos at the HC) and his cooler than cool wife Judy. They went Mayercraftin' and Judy was kind enough to send along these photos to share. Amazing. Enjoy!

Cayamo Review

I read this great review about the Cayamo and Mayercraft cruises. It's really long so I've only included the DRH mentions.

Cayamo Day Three: "...After that Brenna and I went to see David Ryan Harris play a set at the Adriatic Lounge. We took the table right at the stage and after a few songs two women sit down next to me---it was Brandi and her mom, who were having a good time watching David perform. I had seen him 3.5 years ago, when he opened for Jamie Cullum but hadn't been able to catch any other sets of his, so I was happy when he was announced as a performer for Mayercraft and Cayamo. His set was soooo good. What a talented and funny guy. He told this story that if he were to be a Superhero, he would be 'Mister Emotional'. He even cried during one of his songs and made people in the audience cry with his beautiful lyrics. After the show Brandi went up to David, said a quick 'Hey' and ran off....at this point it was 2am so she was probably tired and didn't want to deal with fans. We also went back to our rooms to go to bed..."

Cayamo Day Five: "...After Brandi's set we went upstairs to the Lounge, where David Ryan Harris was due to play a set. I was upset that I missed Ernie Halter's set, but if I have to chose between Ernie and Brandi, Brandi wins. David's set was really good, I will definitely try to see him again.
Then we went to get some food, because I hadn't eaten since lunchtime and who did I meet outside at the midnight buffet? Josh of course Then we went to the Casino and stayed up until 3.30am, most people tried their luck gambling but I have been good and have not wasted any money on that..."


The blog is really a very well-written account of the goings-on and totally worth the read. Check it here: http://marinaiscruising.blogspot.com

Sooooo...got an email from Debbie Ocoboc hooking us up with some more DRH download love! She said she walked in on the first song, but was able to start recording on the second. Also said: "so in the hall of the boat by the big bar people sometime set up this was david and vidal and gabe dixon on piano and matt mangano on bass and dave barnes on drums...quite a band".

Quite a band indeed! A big thanks to Lez for the awesome photos, and to Debbie for recording and sharing with all of us, and a big thanks to the band for being fierce! The recording is about 26 minutes, untracked, and the set list is as follows:

I Wish (by Stevie Wonder)
Raspberry Beret (by Prince)
Leaving Las Vegas (by Sheryl Crow)
What's Going On (by Marvin Gaye)
