EBMM on a billboard!!!

[Shadowbox]

Hey all. I've been a bad knucklehead and haven't posted in a minute, but I've been working and gigging constantly with my Morse.Here's the long and short of it: I'm the bandleader/guitarist for Shadowbox Live. We do a variety of things, mainly sketch comedy and rock & roll. We also do a musical series (Tommy, Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar, Rocky Horror, Rent, etc.). About a year ago, a huge opportunity fell into my lap: I got to co-write a Ballet score. The piece, entitled "The 7 Deadly Sins" is a collaboration between Shadowbox Live and BalletMet. The show opened last week to rave reviews and sold out houses. The shows for next week sold out so fast that we had to add a performance. The press for the show is what resulted in the Morse being on the billboard. There are probably 6-10 of these billboards all over Columbus.

I really do love these guitars. I can't think of a guitar that is better suited for musicians than the Ernie Ball Music Man. It's all about the details. Of course, I'm preaching to the choir here. Everyone around these parts knows this!!!!

Congrats and seriously that is a first, who ever thought there would be a hybrid of Ballet/Rock. I really wish you the best with the show, and who knows but if it ever makes it to Broadway you will never have to work again.

Thanks guys! This isn't so much a "hey! Check ME out" thread (I'm no Ivan Mihaljevic) but I did think that seeing a Morse on a billboard was cool. Is that a first?
