I'm a telephoto guy, but you can't go wrong by getting as close to the stage as possible.

Someone said, "Just climb up on stage with the band." I was afraid that I might mess up, trip on a cable, unplug an amp, and ruin the show.

I didn't ruin the show.

Dawson inadvertently gave me the hairy eyeball during a show. Someone said he needs to start rocking shades when he's onstage, so I took to making that happen.

You can tell that these two just love playing together. Their chemistry is what makes Free Ransom such a fun local band. I count myself lucky to call them my friends.
