Heard Chris & the guys @ Dan Electros Guitar Bar in Houston, 10/02/15, this past Friday for the 3rd time. I had been tracking his schedule for many months, anxiously waiting to catch him in Austin or Houston. Finally, the date was here! I brought a friend who had never heard him before. She was trusting me that he & his band would be as incredible as I had promised. I saw her tapping her fingers and thought that she might be enjoying the show, but wasn't sure how much, since she's not as animated as I am, ha! Yep, she was blown away!! I often attend Blues/Rock concerts & always have a great time. But, this particular show was something quite different. I'll do my best to explain... About 85% of the way through Chris' show, I started getting this overwhelming feeling that I was following the emotions of this song, like I had never done before @ any similar concert. Don't get me wrong, I can relate to a really good blues guitarist & particular notes down deep in my soul, but they are your typical traditional blues numbers, with no unconventional interpretation. In this particular song, I could totally understand the screeching emotions he was feeling. As the song continued I followed it down a more accepting, calmer, zen-like wave. It was then that I realized I was a bit high from it all & that I had jointly experienced his emotions. Now, I'm sure this has happened to many, many people. But, until last night, not me! So, I guess what I'm saying is, "Thanks, Chris, for sharing your journey, your heart. You have made an indelible mark on mine". |
