Weekend Recap
9/29/2005
Well, our last gig was cancelled at the last minute due to rain. One of our guitarists has a $5,000 instrument, and the wood finish is getting a little thin due to age. He was worried about moisture seeping into the wood. Also, because my hand drum has a goatskin head (in other words, not waterproof), the moisture in the air flattens the sound. So we all decided to go back to the campsite instead. SOMEBODY cracked open a bottle of Gin. Meanwhile, the little 'oklahoma blues shuffle' band kept on playin' in the rain, and I felt sorry for all that hardware because nothing was covered!
We drove back to Tulsa (an hour drive), and everyone but Gypsy (who was driving) was slightly intoxicated. So we grooved to music on the way back - with Novachild playing DJ on the car stereo.
Landed the car at Seeker's Art Gallery to discover that they were having a huge party. It was their last night with the doors open. So we all got out our instruments and played our set as a farewell to our favorite local art gallery. There were at most 30 people in the building, but we were a big hit.
We have a paying gig on October 8. More details as I get them.
