Current mood:  creative
Last night's gig with Joe Jack Talcum was a success - coffeehouse filled to capacity, plate glass windows covered with the dripping wet perspiration and exhalations of a significant percentage of the Philly Punk community...Joe Jack in his usual fine fettle and Hugo struggling valiantly to hold onto and play his instruments despite lack of straps and presence of excessively sweaty hands...we played a range of songs including some recent ones from the new album (Photograph, Alcohol), some of Joe's writing efforts from his Dead Milkmen days (Dean's Dream, Methodist Coloring Book) and Butterfly Joe days (Fancy Walls - in my opinion our strongest tune together) and even covers from Dylan (Blowing In the Wind) and the Beatles (Nowhere Man, banjo-style. Don't try this at home.) Joe's erstwhile bandmate Dean Clean even rounded us out as a trio, providing a bit of bongo and gourd action on a couple of tunes (Yesterday I Was Talking To My Sister and Jellyfish Heaven). Saw some old friends and made a couple of new ones. Avoiding getting tattoed or pierced and managed not to wake up across the state line.
Note to non-gigging recordists - my palm was crossed with more silver than the previous three years of attempted download sales combined (lol).
Note to dobro-playing folk punkers a.k.a. Lesson Learned The Hard Way - don't point your dobro's speaker cone toward the monitor...ouch...
Rock on!
