MIKE PORTNOY On Progressive Nation At Sea 2014 - "Thank You All For One Of The Greatest Experiences Of My Career"
February 22, 2014, 10 years ago
Drummer MIKE PORTNOY (THE WINERY DOGS, TRANSATLANTIC, ex-DREAM THEATER) has posted the following recap on his most recent project, the just-wrapped inaugural Progressive Nation At Sea cruise:
I must once again thank Sixthman for being so unbelievably incredible to work with - an absolutely top notch staff - the Norwegian Pearl for such beautiful accommodations, all of the incredibly talented artists and bands that came on board to share this amazing experience, Thomas Waber and Edgel Groves at InsideOut Music for their great support, my Del Fuvio brother Derek Sherinian for all of his behind the scenes involvement, and of course finally, EACH and EVERY one of YOU! If you didn't reserve your cabin and join us for this maiden voyage, ultimately the ship would've never sailed.
If this was the only time we ever did this, it was enough memories to last a lifetime for all of us.
But I'm hopeful we can pull it off and do this again (and again and again)...time will tell! Believe me, my wheels are already spinning with a million ideas... : )
Thank you all for one of the greatest experiences of my career."
Watch for fan-filmed video from the cruise to be uploaded in the coming days.
