2009- My Top 5 GPN Moments

5- Brooklyn Prospect Park (The Brooklyn Marathon)
It was the dream coming true as I turned around in the middle of the bands set and saw how the crowd had swelled to about five thousand. Most were up on their feet dancing away. GPN was on fire! They had arrived. Then off to the Brooklyn Bowl for two hours of Blues and Lasers and watching Grace throw gutter balls. An evening to remember.

4-Terminal 5 in New York City
Absolutely agree with Mojo on this one. It was indeed “Some Kind Of Ride” and New York City loved them. A truly spectacular show.

3-Souther Shore Music Fest in New Jersey- Getting to see the new lineup live for the first time. As the rain started to fall Grace jumped off the stage and into the crowd to share our getting wet experience. As she started to dance with me I lost control, grabbed her, gave her a big kiss and said Happy Birthday. The next day at the Great Hudson River Festival I apologized for stealing the kiss and she informed me that I could kiss her anytime I want. Need I say more?

2. Bonnaroo Web cast- I will never forget yelling at the top of my lungs at the computer screen. They were simply sensational and the new tunes were incredible. From that point on I knew the new lineup was going to catapult this band to another level. This show was a game changer as far as I’m concerned.

1. Bennington,Vermont Solo Show- At the very last minute I decided that a five hour drive up north to see this show was imperative. I ended up front row in front of the piano. If I leaned forward I could almost touch Grace and I will never forget her singing "Colors"  for the first time. For a small time it felt like being in her living room and she was singing to me alone. An absolute priceless moment.
