THE SONGS.

Hey y'all. Here are the videos of our performances at the Memphis party. The first is our original tune, The Note Song. There's some voice-over from a video in the middle, so don't get confused. The second is our cover of "Someday" from the musical itself.

Hope you like 'em!

B. B. KINGS - PART 1 BACKSTAGE.

Last night my band had the extreme pleasure of playing at the "Memmy's," the giant party celebrating Memphis The Musical's first full year on Broadway. The insanely wonderful Miz Millah organized the entire evening which was held at B. B. Kings and it was a total blast. David Bryan, the keyboardist from Bon Jovi, wrote the music to the show and he was right there in the audience. We were asked to cover the song "Someday" from Memphis and were a bit nervous when we found out the guy who wrote it would be there. But, he came up to us afterwards and told us that we were great!

Relief!

Here are just a few shots from our dressing room backstage:

The Mandolin Man folding his pants to put in the fridge.

Bass Boy stole the banjo.

Oh, don't you just love her.

If you put the banjo and the melodica together you'd get a Banjodica.

Or a Melanjo.

The dudes.

It's never too late for a rehearsal.

Ahoy. I'm backstage.

Trying to squeeze us all in...

Wait for it...

Success!

More photos taken by an actual photographer to come. But thank you so much to Miz Millah and the entire Memphis team for such an incredible night!

WHY HER NICKNAME FITS.

My hilarious friend Rockelle invited me to a night of Karaoke at a bar hosted by her friend who just happens to own a bunch of equipment. Unfortunately I could not attend, but Rockelle did, and the re-telling of her performance via g-chat made me laugh out loud:

Rockelle: Oh Molly, you missed me being SO awesome.

Me: DAMMIT.

Rockelle: Like, I went there.

Me: HAHAHAH.

Rockelle: And then I went back.

Yeah.

4 words for you.

"Piece of My Heart."

Needless to say, I was sort of on a Maker's Mark IV.

Me: You are my hero.

Rockelle: And I may have followed that up with Drops of Jupiter by Train.

I CAN'T GET ENOUGH.

ALSO, THIS.

RANDOM IS THE WORD OF THE DAY.

1. My weekend out of town with the kids I teach was too cool for school. We even went apple picking and hit up a corn maze.

2. This is blowing my mind right now.

3. Monday night we had this outrageous hail storm and those balls of ice were giant. I thought my windows were going to explode, no joke. I was actually a little bit freaked out and texted my sister "Has the apocalypse arrived?" to which she replied "Apparently."

4. When you are experiencing a hail storm, the best thing to do is get in the bathtub with a glass of red wine. Do not reinforce your windows or purchase sandbags. Buy Malbec.

5. I think we all know who would win in the face of a natural disaster: Me.

6. I still don't have a dresser and am getting a little sick of having my unmentionables on the floor in a bag.

7. I love my apartment.

8. My band is performing at the year anniversary party for Memphis the Musical. Congratulations, Memphis! One year on Broadway!!!

9. Boustrophedon is a cool word.

10. I got my flu shot today for free from Actors' Equity. Thank you, Union!!!! Are you getting yours?

SUBWAY SLEEPING.

I sent this video to my homies and the response back from one of them was too funny not to post.

"i love this.
