Between work and rehearsals every evening, I haven’t had as much time to devote to Drug WarRant this week as I’d like.
But on a personal note, I’m having a blast as musical director and keyboard player for what will be a fantastic production of “The Who’s Tommy” by Pete Townshend. We’re doing it as a cross between a rock concert and a musical, with the band on stage and featured on a raised platform that sometimes moves downstage to the audience and with trusses of rock concert lighting. The band I’m leading is fabulous — two guitars, bass, drums, two keyboards, and french horn — a bunch of incredibly hard-working and talented young people, who really get the music.
If you’re in the area (Bloomington-Normal, Illinois), check it out. October 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13 at 7:30 p.m.; October 7 & 14 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets available at TicketMaster.
