SHINY BOOTS OF LEATHER
A real quick one - packing bags and rushing to get out of here and back to LA to do it all over again!! Just had to put this picture up here as soon as I could. Words cannot describe the feeling of playing Venus In Furs with Lou Reed in front of a sold out venue. I have spent many years listening to the Velvet Underground and Lou's solo albums and to have done what we did last night feels surreal. It was an honor and a privilege to have shared the stage with the man, and for him to have been so happy with the way it sounded is just just icing on the cake.
Also, check out the Your Artwork 2 page and look carefully at the Hummer guitar pic in there.....VERY clever!!
I will give a full report of both Vanity Fair shows when the madness is over. For now, all I have to say is thank you all for your support, and ...... "OH MY GOD.......Lou Fucking Reed"!!!!!!!!!!!
Peace
Billy

I heard a little of the show last night. Wonderful to hear Lou Reed even if it was only over a cellphone.

I was at the show, it was a fun time. It was more like a big party than just a gig! Too short though!
