Went Busking DownTown for Saint Patricks day

Wow it was a wild day.  I spent the majority of time for spring break immersed in setting up and working on ProTools, doing chores around the house, and trying to sleep. Saturday I picked up my mother-inlaw from her flight home from Rome.  Just as Saturday is comes to an end I realize that St. Patricks day is on Sunday -- less than a 24 hours away.  Anyway... I'm like I need to hurry up and get generator charged and prepared because St Patricks day(SPD) is one of the biggest days of the year in Cleveland.
I felt I was ready for it all, though I was a bit worried, because the last time I busked I was arrested by  an awful cop.  So the risk was there-- but the past behind me I forward to a good time.
I woke up and drank some passion-fruit rum and grape juice with a piece of bread, said a prayer and head out to catch the bus for downtown Cleveland.   On my collapsable dolly I carried my Rogue Amp, Generator, Guitar, Microphone, cable, mic stand, and my big Browns Bucket filled with like 30 Chocolate Humming HoneyBird Albums.
Overall I had an awesome time!  I look forward to it again next year.

Walking in the Rain. One of my latest songs.

http://wesleywashington.bandcamp.com/track/walking-in-the-rain

This song is pretty freakin awesome.  I played this one live and later Tooled it up with some effects.  I wrote this song along with a couple of other writers like Diona Shaw and Jimmy Love who is on my Cleveland Cloud 9 group http://www.myspace.com/clevelandcloud9.  I could walk in the rain and sing this song all day.
