"Men who seem to be blind
Are throwing shadows here
As a man, with stars in his eyes
What does he care if the future's bright."

Today is a day when it is possible to stop for a breather, to stay home and listening to music instead of heading to a live show.

Let me take this moment to reveal another concert memory. A couple of years I went to a show in Los Angeles, at the moment I cannot even remember the main act. What I do remember is that The Fresh & Onlys was opening up the evening.

At the beginning of the show I had my doubts following an incident when the bass player of The Fresh & Onlys had a huge sip of whisky from a badly hidden bottle inside of his jacket and then fell to ground of the stage. “How will this end up?” was the question I asked myself.

I am happy to say that just seconds later I did not have to worry because when on his feet again he and the rest of the band did perform a great show. I am also happy to hear that The Fresh & Onlys have just released new material. If the forthcoming tour makes a stop in Sweden I will doubtless be there in the audience.

The Fresh & Onlys – Presence of mind is found on the record “Long slow dance” released in 2012.
