“Just to touch your skin and to hear your voice, yeah I will go running back again.” – “Running Back Again” (Howard/Arens)

Salutations™!!
Yesterday, I was part of a video shoot for my pal Clay Howard’s song, “Running Back Again.” We set up a performance stage in an empty warehouse across the street from The Lab at Industry Hill.

The band featured Clay on vocals and rhythm guitar, Davidson Smith on drums, Chad Huskey lead guitar, Joshua West on keyboards and yours truly on bass. The video was directed and shot by my pal Chad Nance and produced by him Carissa. It was just a great time hanging out with my friends playing music, even though we weren’t actually playing music. We played along to a track, for those who don’t know how music videos work.
It was 62ish outside but inside this warehouse, it was probably in the 50s. Everyone complained and bundled up between shots. I thought it felt great, but we know I like it cooler. But, the video should be out in a few weeks to coincide with Clay’s new album release. When it’s released I’ll let you know.
The shot I included was called “Maximum Beeman” by Chad. I say everything is Maximum Beeman.
Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!
The alarm went off at 5:20am. Ugh. I didn’t sleep well last night, even though I was in bed by 11:20pm. I woke up at 2:59am with what I can only figure was heartburn. I don’t have heartburn often so I am guessing. Had a hard time going back to sleep, but I did. Then it was the alarm.
I don’t usually get up this early but this morning, well I did. Showered, shaved and dressed. I had to be downtown at 6am. I was there at 6:04am. Luckily, the person I was meeting, Chad Nance, was later than me by about 3 minutes. What in the honey-baked Hades were we doing up so early? Well, Dear Reader, I’ll tell you…
Chad and I were working on a project. A project that I’ve been talking about for a while, now. All my talk about getting sponsorships from Omega Sports, Mary’s Gourmet Diner, Atelier on Trade and Hoots Roller Bar & Beer Company, is finally going to pay off for them (and me). Chad and I were filming the intro to the web video series The Man Who Walked the Town. So, once Chad has it edited down to fit the intro VO/music that I made, that will be the final piece; the last element needed.

It was short and chopped up walks but I was sweating and had over 7000 steps before 8am. That’s not bad, huh? That was 7x the steps I took all day yesterday. Well, almost. I had about 1500 or so when it was all said and done. Okay, so it was 4x and some change, but still… I should have 10,000 before the day is up and I plan doing it all again tomorrow, if The BCPF is up to it. She’s a little under the weather today. But, it’s supposed to be a sweltering day tomorrow so we’re going to get up early. We’ll probably do the walk before we go to Mary’s and Atelier. Let that be our early reward and then head to Hoot’s afterwards for the “hop pops,” right?
Anywhat! I’m excited about the video series almost ready to go. I’ll be asking for recommendations and requests and I’ll be recruiting people to walk with me/us (plus The BCPF) to add to the enjoyment of walking and exploring all this town has to offer. I’ll keep you posted as we get nearer! Get to steppin’! (as The Man Who Walked the Town would say).
Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

The BCPF and me at RiverRun Gala (Photo ©Sally Gupton)
RiverRun is in full swing. We went to the “opening” gala on Friday. We had a short conversation with Bill Pullman, watched Robert Townsend dance it like crazy with a lovely woman, watched the Winston-Salem Journal’s Michael Hewlett and Lynn Felder dance up a storm, too. We saw Camel City Dispatch’s Chad Nance with full-hair down with a corduroy blazer. Drank some Topo and wine. Good times. Before that, we had beer and dinner with Michael and Laura Slawter at The Porch. That’s such a great restaurant and now that they’ve gone full table service, it’s even better.
Winston-Salem Symphony Pre Show
On Saturaday, The BCPF and I went to Underdog Records for National Record Store Day. She bought the new Belle & Sebastian and I bought the RSD reissue pressing of Springsteen’s Born in the USA on (YES EUG) 180 gram black vinyl, as well as a used copy of Zenyatta Mondatta from The Police. It’s always good to see Jonathan Hodges, the owner of Underdog Records. We then stopped by Twin City Hive to collect something for Second Harvest Food Bank’s “Empty Bowls” event’s silent auction. We then went to Black Mountain Chocolate to do the same. Then it was home to watch some Keeping Up Appearances as we love Britcoms.
Then we went to see the Winston-Salem Symphony do Led Zeppelin with Jeans ‘n Classics. Always fun to watch J. Alexandra Johnson, cellist extraordinaire and 3B’s orchestra teacher, Fabrice Dharamraj do their thing and it was great with a live band as they played some Zeppelin tunes. Good stuff. We then came home and watched more Keeping Up Appearances. I love me some Hyacinth Bucket.
Anyway, great weekend. Talk to you tomorrow, same blog channel…
