Boston GuitarFest 2007 Reflections: June 4

The day before the day – always a day to be remembered.

It was the kind of day where I had already talked away countless daytime minutes before I even had a chance to make coffee, and by the time I filled my mug, e-mails were flying at me like fastballs.

Knowing that people were coming from all over the world, from places as far as Columbia, to attend Boston GuitarFest 2007 was a strange feeling. The attendees were trickling in like the rain that began to cover the city. “Flight delays,” I thought to myself, as I embarked on my long day of running around New England Conservatory.

The day of final preparations went by in a flash. At 9:30 pm I decided it was time to head home and make some dinner. Joseph Williams, who was playing in the concert with me tomorrow, finally showed up after many airport delays at 11:30 pm. After some food, beer, and conversation, we rehearsed for almost 2 hours.

It must have been around 3:30 when I turned off the lights and pulled on the covers. Boston GuitarFest 2007 was ready for blast-off.
