ZOWWWWWZER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tonight was a total trip…. A journey through the twilight zone of the LEXERS!!!!!!!! It all started last week. I was feeling a little blue. Stella definitely took my groove… and I wasn’t sure how to find it again. Then out of know where… The earth shook….. and the quake came back into my soul tonight, as I danced the night away!

Amazingly…..I got to go see Tom Petty. I wanted to go sooo bad, but could not get tickets. My friend and I decided to just go, and see if we could get tickets at the door…. Sure enough, luck was on our side!!! We grooved the whole night! But the best dancing happened on that stage. You have all these instruments dancing together…. Dipping each other….. the most beautiful Choreography in the world……..Seeing the lead guitarist take complicated steps on “Love On The Bayou”….. Or the pianist doing pirouettes with Stevie Wynnwood….. and then…. Mr. Petty walking to the front of the stage with his beautiful Black Acoustic guitar, as he and that guitar lit up the stage from the heavens above as he leapt through the air, as he sang “Learning To Fly!” Just blew us away!

It was just an incredible evening! I had been completely drenched earlier from the torrential downfall… we were a mess because it was super hot! I couldn’t figure out how Tom and the band could wear long sleeve blazers? It made me wonder…. Do they have air conditioning on the Verizon stage???????? I hope so!!!! That would be real nice! I would like that when I get on that stage!

Just when I thought the evening couldn’t get better….. It did.

After the show…. My friend talked me into going to meet up with one of her friends. As we were entering the building….. Low and Behold… T-Bone Burnett was entering. I couldn’t believe my eyes! I have wanted to meet T-Bone for a long time! As you know he is one of the Best dancers in the world! I said Hi…. And of course, like an unprepared fool… I did not have a CD to hand to him …. And as I stood there with my hair a total mess from the rain…. And my yellow rain coat wrapped around my waste…… Uttering pig latten to this incredible man….. and his super sweet friend…. I laughed at how the world can dance for you as well! Just when you feel doubt enter your soul….. The world can give you the greatest dip ever!!!!!!!!!!

I started working with a band last night. Our plan is to do some shows really soon that will knock you off your feet! I hope that I have absorbed so so much watching these great musicians, and that when I sing on the stage for you…. My band and I will put on a dance, that you will never forget! I also hope that when you need it, you will feel the Universe dance for you….. And you will enjoy the dip!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is nothing like the head rush of life, when it spins you the right way!

Thanks for visiting…. And I hope you go to bed doing the CHA CHA tonight!

Love,
The Lexers!
