Summer End Blues
Saturday afternoon, Dave and I once again headed south west towards France and the Devil’s Bridge Inn. It seemed that it would be just him and me since the other “official” members of the band couldn’t make it, so I had been psyching myself up for a guitar-washboard duo. However a phone call on the way there informed us that Denis would be playing after all and that possibly an old saxophone playing friend of his and Dave’s would be coming too.

Early stage fright
Last week I learned that the concert we have agreed to do mid June, warm up the room for a gospel choir, will be in a hall that can seat 1000 people. I am terrified. All the more since there is some fuzziness as to who will be able to play; for instance one member of the band is getting a tooth pulled two days before…

Crouzet-Migette
When we passed into France yesterday, the customs officer looked into the car and could see that it was filled with bizarre stuff like cymbals, drums and guitars. Anything to declare? Dave says: “No, not at all, we’re going to play a concert at the bistrot in Crouzet-Migette this evening”.

Yet much worse is finding something great that you never though of looking for. Right, hit your head on the wall…
But it could be worse, it always can, trust me, you may have never ever found it.
What??

Last Saturday at the Devils bridge Inn
Last Saturdays concert was so-so, not much of a public. Apparently two other nearby inns/restaurants had organized concerts for the same evening. I have no complaint, I got food and board, and some good hands on practice. At least the concert ended better than it had started, we had eaten a bit late and did the first part of the evening between the cheese course and desert. To say the first few songs where heavy, overeaten with too much wine would be an understatement.
