An Evening at the SLS Hotel with Jason Castro, his mom and about 100 other folks.

My advice is always open your inbox because you never know when you'll get a message that will make your day (props to Dirty Harry). Thanks so much to the wondrous McLovin who generously invited me to see and hear Jason Castro at the modernly trippy SLS hotel. The show started at 6:30. So it being LA, I left 90 minutes early to take a 45 minute trip. The traffic was light and I looked for street parking. Since the BH cops love to give tickets, I opted for the valet parking. The hotel from start to end had a much more chill vibe than The Grove. I never once had to urge to punch anyone in the throat or tell them to shut the frack up.I met with some Copia friends and we went to the patio to hear Jason practice for his sound check. No Heavy Steadies this time, the stage was just Jason and his guitar-sublime. Now, the show-kick awesome He played with such passion and grace-
All Wrapped Up-new song
Love Uncompromised-I was mouthing the words
It's Alright With Me-sweet song about accepting your lover for who s/he is
Hallelujah-bee-uu-ti-ful
That's What I'm Here For -new song--pretty pretty
Let's Just Fall In Love Again-JC did the whistling all by himself. The song is such a toe tapper. Even the teen boy sitting in front of me was keeping the beat with his foot.

After the show, Jason was his usual incredibly patient self-smiling, posing for pictures, signing autographs, making strangers feel comfortable.

His mom Betsy was glowing with pride. She's such a great mom role model. When faced with a mom decision, I ask myself what would Betsy do since she's raised three outstanding kids.

Finally, I drove home with a grin and genuinely happy about the great support Atlantic Records is showing for Jason's career.
