Thanks to everyone who spent New Year’s Eve with RCPM in Scottsdale, AZ. The evening was beautiful (picture above is a crowd shot I took from stage). But, wow, we had a scary moment. As soon as we finished our show and started heading off the stage, a transformer blew right in front of our eyes and power lines dropped to the street about a hundred feet from where we were. If you’ve ever heard or witnessed this happen in person, it’s scary shit. There is a loud explosion and then that dreadful noise like you would hear during an electrocution. It happened on the street/alley behind the stage where the band and I were heading to get to our bus. If it had happened a few moments later, when thousands of revelers were filing out, I hate to even think about the outcome. But miraculously, nobody was hurt and I’m thankful and I’m counting my blessings to start off this brand new year. Here’s wishing you all a safe and prosperous New Year...JD
