Coffee, I think you hafta hang by the bus. Be prepared to wait since I think she likes to decompress for a while but once she does I think she will be all over that CD. Try to look harmless.
Have fun and good luck and put that 2 cents in! 😆
About the same here Stoger, and strangely humid. Stuart Mathis going forward, I understand.
I badly mangled my audience/chair comparison. There were many more chairs than people. They were set up for a much bigger crowd but I think a lot of people had already left town for the holiday weekend. By the way, Aaron Neville was on after Lu and he sounded great. I did not catch his whole set but it seemed like he was killing it.
Here is my report, after 5 hours sleep. It was mega hot, with a slight warm breeze, in downtown LA. We got there a little after 6 and had a drink and something to eat at the venue. Etana was on the stage, loud. The crowd outnumbered the white folding chairs by a lot. We gave up our 4th row seats and sat further in the back where it was empty, in the desperate hope of catching the odd breeze. The Iquanas came and went. Lu hit the stage at 8:15 and it was clear from the start that she was pumped up and ready to rock and roll. Also quite loud. She lost her place halfway through Righteously because, she said, she was “mesmerized” by Val’s guitar paying. Val was burning up the frets, and Butch and David were into it. This was a one night thing for Val. Show over at 9 pm.
I bumped into Cindy Wasserman before Lu’s set in the cocktail tent and she was very excited about seeing Lu as well. I was home at 2:30 and up at 7:30 to attend my golf lesson. I would have gotten home earlier if I didn’t get stopped for a speeding ticket one mile from my home. 😯
LWj, install software called Audacity on your computer. It’s free. It can record what is playing over your sound card. Try it out. 😀
Indeed Mr. S. so far I have made it to 2 pm. without being selected.
I will make sure I am fully rested for Lu’s show on Friday. 🙂
Mike’s show in Miss Pamela’s backyard was a fun affair. I got there about an hour before the music started and there was already a decent sized crowd there, eating pot luck food and drinking various alcoholic beverages. By the time the music started space was at a premium, people were dodging each other, trees, tables, and the like. Lots of interesting people. Miss Pamela was most welcoming and Mike was jovial, as always. Miss Pamela’s former husband Michael Des Barres was there; I gather he used to be in a band or 2 and is an actor as well. Mike started playing around 6:20 and was awesome, although turned down for the neighbors sake. At 7:30 he was still going strong but I had to boogie as I had promised my friend Matt I would catch his show at The Mint at 8 pm.. Between songs I said farewell to my hostess and Mike but was sorry to hit the road because I had a pretty good idea this party was going to get weird and crazy.
I got to The Mint at 7:55, had a short chat with Matt, whose regular gig is in a band called The Northstar Session, and he hit the stage in front of a typically light Sunday night crowd. One of Matt’s students is the daughter of Jim Belushi and she joined him for a song while her daddy looked on from 2 feet in front of me. The show was over at 9:50 and I beat a hasty retreat to my suburban enclave.
Between 2 shows and 2 rounds of early morning golf I am beat and need to rest up for Lu’s Friday show. The fun part is that I had to report for jury duty this morning so I am sitting in a courthouse in Ventura with about 200 knuckleheads.
