Back in Black.. it's good to be back
Well for the first time since NOV '07 I can honestly say "I'm Back".. back to doing local shows and lookin forward to them. I've been juggling with all the touring and recording I've done and trying to do local shows so those went on the back burner. Thanks to the great bears in Salt Lake City, St. Louis, Cleveland, Akron, Columbus, Wichita and more, I kinda shunned off local shows since I've been playing locally since 1989. Problem is, rehearsing helps and is necessary (especially for me, I'm not a natural by any means) but nothing makes me a better musician than playing gigs, that's it, bottom line... so I'm back to doing what I love, playing motorcycle ride-ins with big str8 biker daddys.. yeah the eye candy's nice, but I've felt good doing these shows, my voice, my guitar playing and selling my CD locally has sure made me glad to be back. I've been workin on updating my set lists too with some new songs, so I went back to the beginning again.. learned some great blues and ofcourse added some new Beatles songs to my set after watching "Across The Universe".. Hey if you get a chance, I did an interview with this nice man named Louis from SanFrancisco, here's the link! I figured if I put it on my live journal I won't forget it. Hey if you guys get in my neighborhood of Ohio, look me up I maybe doing a local show. As always, BIG BEAR HUGS and THANKS! http://www.bearotic.com/2008/07/23/elijah-black-delivers-hard-rock-passion/
