well, that was fun...
I posted a couple more images in the gallery from our concerts this weekend. I had a great time. Friday evening at Smallbar was great. We usually get a good crowd there. People are rowdy in appropriate ways. And the host, Fuji, is generous. Go to Smallbar, people. You con't go wrong.
The Poitin Stil gig was a little unusual. It went well and a bunch of friends showed up. I have to say that my friends seem to like going there for some reason. Anyway, it was an afternoon gig and I simply could not get my energy up...not where I would want it to be at least. Still, it was a good show and our host, Susan, treated us well.
Finally, we went to Hotti Biscotti. When I walked in I was a little worried. The only person there was the bartender. Really. The place was dead. I though to myself "Well, we will put on a show for our 12 friends and call it a night...maybe one hour of work." By the time 11:00 rolled around, the place was packed. Our last minuter e-mail did the trick. I think it was our best show. We played until 2:00. Al, our former banjo player, was in town. He joined us for the night. It was marvelous. And the crowd was great. Dancing, singing...listening to the ballads. Wow.
So, yeah, it was a good day.
Sounds wonderful! I wish we could have folded the map such that SoCal and Chicago stood within a few miles of each other. I'd have become a Girls groupie.
