Ch-ch-ch-changes...

Hey everybody!

Three blogs in less than a week, crazy huh? Anyway, that’s what happens when life gets crazy.

Just after I posted those last two blogs, I was informed that Tequila Sunrise would be taking a “sabbatical” while Paul Sidoti goes on tour with Taylor Swift. It was definitely a big surprise and a shock to me, as I was expecting a busy summer just like last year.

I’m sad to see TS go away, but that only paves the way for new and better projects.

Speaking of that, I’m off to a rehearsal with a fellow TS alumni, Doug Gery. I’m going to jam with his band, Honkadelic, and hopefully things will flow nicely and I can get some more shows on my schedule.

Also, I’m beginning work with ANOTHER TS alumni (there’s a lot of us, I tell ya!), Jason Manning. Jason is an incredibly talented singer/songwriter and together with Jason Dixon has written some KILLER tunes. We’re in the process of hashing out logistics for a summer tour and hopefully the recording of an original album. It will be great to record some original music for a change!

We’re also keeping the Eagles train rolling with an as yet unnamed tribute. I believe we will keep as many TS members as want to be involved. More news on that as it becomes available. What do y’all think of “Seven Bridges Road” as the band name? Or perhaps “On The Border”? “Disco Stranglers”? “Greek Freaks”? (BTW: The last two were JOKES, people!).

Anyway, duty calls!!

Take it easy!

Keith -- Ironically, my roundabout journey to your blog started by googling "Paul Sidoti" and "Taylor Swift" only to discover here that Tequila Sunrise may be no more. I am stunned! No chance that this really is only a "sabbatical" huh? I have been a fan of TS for three years and have been to 7 concerts. My friend, her granddaughter and I (and many others we have introduced to TS) perched ourselves in front of Paul for each concert. I have shaken hands and chatted with you at least three times; and twice nearly caught a drumstick. I realize that TS wouldn't be the lifelong job for the band members, but I had hoped it would continue for a little while longer. I suppose I'll just check back here or at your myspace for updates. Next time you're in NE Ohio we'll be there!
