Street Gatherings #1

Our first installment of "Street Gatherings: music for the street soul," are two guys we got to hang out with last night throughout our rehearsal.

We've been busy in writing new songs for our upcoming album, and in the middle of rehearsal, two guys came to join us on the steps yelling, and whistling and clapping after each evolution of the new song we were writing. After rehearsal, they came over and introduced themselves: Daryl (in the puffy jacket) and Red Beard / ZZ (in the red shirt).
Daryl is a songwriter / poet and shared a few of the songs he's been working on with us into our PA system. Red Beard used to play saxophone, but said he had to pawn it to get beer money a few years back. It was interesting to hear their stories and their dreams. Daryl wants to move to Nashville to write songs and we told him he should totally give it a shot.

They were full of encouragement and had some funny lines to share with us... and I quote:

"You guys are the next Pink Floyd and U2."
- Red Beard
"It's progressive, but its rock and roll. Everyone loves rock and roll. Finally, you guys can put POD to rest."
- Red Beard
"If you want a lyricist, I have all the songs. I have all the songs. I have all the songs. My mother was a singer. I have all the songs." - Daryl
