Just finished our first concert of this long tour in Payson, AZ. very pretty area. we had an assembly for high school students today and finished with an evening concert in Payson sponsored by the local fine arts organization.
The seats were almost 100% filled which always makes for a more enjoyable show. Touring artists always say you can't let audiences determine how you peform. But, after being on tour for 7 years across the world and after being on a live TV show performing for millions....I don't care what anyone says....the better the audience...the better the show. It's all about feeding them energy from the stage and them giving it right back. No way around that.
Tonights crowd was great. couldn't ask for much more. I hope the rest of the tour goes well like this with the audiences.
for now i gotta get some rest...we have a 9 hour drive into Vegas in the morning.
About Me
- Luke Menard
- I am 29 years old, I'm married to a wonderful woman and I live in Indiana. I was recently on season 7 of American Idol. Shortly after being eliminated from the Top 16 I was diagnosed with cancer and recently finished 6 months of chemotherapy and now undergoing radiation 5 days a week. I have been inspired to share my story of joy in the midst of recent trials with others. I hope to use this blog to keep you all updated on my life and my health.

Sounds like the tour's off to a great start! I'm sure that the rest will be just as good.
I'm glad to see that you guys still do appearances at the schools. I'll bet that's a lot of fun - for both you & the students.

Enjoy the great west.
Take care.

Like they say... "know your audience." Have a great day!
Darn, Luke, I'm so sorry about your cancer. I too have some total drag health issues, the difference between us being that mine won't actually kill me, although they do sometimes make me wish I were dead.

I hope the job paid, son.
this blog got me through my horrible teenager years. i remember loving coming home from school and seeing new Dwight Howard Lakers Jersey from you. and not just the posts, but also the replies i got from you. this site was definitely my favourite of any punk uploading blog out there. you turned me on to so many great bands that we be will with me forever. even those rocking emails you sent me, were great. i haven't been around the blogging world for months now and i really don't know why i left. i love talking music with you but i guess when i lost interest with my blog it kinda continued over to all the other blogs. i'm addicted to the No Homers forum right now so that's where i've been most of the time. i have to visit your other newer site and see what's cooking there. hell, this blog had a fantastic run, with most of the posts being top notch. i would say all your posts were top notch, but you posted a lot of metal too. yep, i'm still not a fan of it. but hey, you love it, that's all that matters. it always saddens me to see something end. but especially this blog, it's like i'm loosing a piece of myself. anyway, i'd just like to say a final THANK YOU for everything you've done.
cancer! God help you! I've never had cancer, it must be painful.
