Cottonwood, CA October 25th
Cody's OK Corral... a real gem hidden in plain sight in the little town of Cottonwood, CA.
Has anyone seen The Blues Brothers movie? Yah? Well, this place (Cody’s OK Corral in Cottonwood, CA) took a page right out of the scene where those guys played that country western bar. QUESTION: “What kind of music do you guys generally have here?” ANSWER: “Two kinds: country and western.” Haha… Seriously, the only thing this place was missing was a chicken wire fence to protect me in the event that one of the patrons didn’t agree with my choice in material for the night. While it never came to that (on the contrary, I sold over 25 copies of my new acoustic release during the show), I was a little leery at first when I set up, even though the bartender, Brittany, had seen me on the way up the week before and approached me directly about a booking there. Over three hours, I played my rear off with the occasional southern rocker to make sure everything stayed copacetic. It turns out that it did and we had one heck of night.
Yeah... it's got an animal on the main sign. Love this joint!
Man… great folks in Cottonwood, CA! Big thanks to the staff at Cody’s OK Corral for inviting me to perform on a Tuesday night and for helping to get a big crowd in for my show! Brittany… YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR! See ya’ll again real soon!
Lest I forget the stunning beauty of Mount Shasta on the way down earlier that day, I’ll post one of several photos I just couldn’t stop taking of this awe inspiring mountain from my rearview mirror. Boy, I can’t wait to get back there someday soon!
Talk about a distraction that might drive ya right off the road... I mean, LOOK at this mountain! Holy crow...
