Grateful Ed / Grace Martinez

So tonight I played "Bittersweet," by Big Head Todd and the Monsters and the song title was very appropriate. I found out yesterday that my sister fell down a flight of stairs and she is in a hospital in Poughkipsee N.Y.. She has some pretty serious injuries and needless to say the whole family is concerned. Her children are there with her and we are praying for a full recovery. So I dedicated tonight's show to her and it was powerful for me.
I had a number of friends show up and I am so grateful. I am blessed. Mark and Kathy came from Utica and Greg came from Naples. Brad showed up with his dog. Of course my sweet wife was there. This was a show where I had a good deal of fun. There were smiles and tears and some really nice moments. Tonight all the hard work paid off in a big way and people I really love were there to share it. I played two sets with Grace Martinez playing a set in between mine. As usual Grace is just a shining light of songwriting and Musicianship and singing.
