I think it's amazing what a difference Wix on his accordion can make. I loved Here, There And Everywhere on the '02/'03 Tours.
Me too.

Did anyone here go to Brian's show in Santa Barbara ???? So....How did it go ????
I DID!! I DID!!! How did it go??? How about OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!! Doesn't matter where Brian plays..........the show is always FANTASTIC!!!!!! He looked and sounded GREAT!!! The band was awesome too. There were several people I recognized from previous shows, although I didn't know everyone's names. Not the same as a "home" crowd, but the response was wonderful. Afterwards, Brian made his way through the crowd, speaking to everyone and signing a few autographs. Always the inimitable Mr. Ray! Biggest surprise of the evening?? WIX! He came onstage with his accordion and played "All I Know" for a new twist on that ballad. That was really good! The crowd recognized Wix as well, and he got a great reception. That was the only ballad that Brian played, but he did include "Tears of a Clown" and the crowd went wild! Great night, great venue! Mike Campbell and the Dirty Knobs were terrific as well. Thanks again, Brian, for another fantastic evening!!
I'm glad that you managed to get there Ronna , Thanks for the report , Sounds like you had a great evening !

I know what you mean! Wix also played on "Tears of a Clown" in Santa Barbara. He and Brian and Pete had quite the jam session going on during that one! Very impressive!

YES! It was quite the unusual jam, wasn't it??? There was a whole lot of talent on that stage in Santa Barbara!! I'm so glad I was able to be there!

Well, it's taken me over a week to find time to stop in and say "hi" to everyone. Wasn't the show incredible???? That Brian sure knows how to pack a club!!! I had called the Mint the afternoon of the show and was told that they were having to rent chairs to accommodate all the seating requests!!! The lady on the phone told me they'd never had to do that before!!! What a sweetheart that Wix is!! He mingled through the crowd and was so generous with his time, talking with people, signing autographs and posing for pictures. I thought it was cute that he was drinking a Corona. . . I guess he's becoming a regular SoCal guy!!! By the way, I've got a FABULOUS photo of Wix with Dawn and Gail. Now if I can just figure out how to post the darn thing!!! After the show, I bought a few copies of Brian's CD for friends and Brian was so sweet to personalize the autographs. I asked him to sign one for my friend, Lynn, and when I gave it to her later, she opened up the CD to read "Rock on, Glenn!! Brian Ray '06" (It was so noisy in the club. . . guess "Lynn" sounded like "Glenn" to Brian. My friend was so tickled by the mistake, and she actually thought the boo-boo made the autograph all the more special. I took tons of photos until my battery went dead. Sadly, I wasn't able to get any shots of Brian with any of you guys, so you'll all have to come to the next show and I'll use my battery more sparingly. It was so much fun to see Dawn, Fiona and Diana (you guys must really be racking up the frequent flier miles by now!), Sharon, Ronna, Lynn, Karen, Kris and the "other" Lynn, not to mention the party girls Dollierocker, Bloody Mary, Penny Lane and your two friends. You girls were the life of the party. Amy(Jet)2), I'm beginning to think you don't really exist! I can't believe we've missed each other yet again!! Glad to read that you made it. There's always next time! And Brian, if you're reading this, thanks so much for the incredible show!! I've had your CD in my car player all week and I can't get your tunes out of my head!! Your music is so much better than anything I've been hearing on the radio lately. I hope you'll be invading the airwaves soon!!! I can't wait 'til Brian's next gig. Let's make this a regular date!!

I was able to tape it. I would have preferred to stay home from work to watch it, but, somehow, I didn't think watching Brian on tv was an excuse my boss would accept! Imagine that..... Brian, Rusty, and Wix were on the show and they were being asked questions about working with Paul, etc. They were all great, but, instead of showing them on camera during the questions and answers, footage from BITUS was shown! That was a bit of a disappointment. They did get in plugs for MM and UU, however! That was cool!!

I don't know, Dawn........I would have understood perfectly well if a co-worker had told me that was their reason for staying home from work!!

Have you all seen the new interview here: http://www.mwe3.com/ It's great! Brian talks about about MM and some of the collaborations that it involved. He also talks a bit about his guitars and working with Paul.
