Playing the Market

Awoke Sat. a bit tired from Fri. late night watching "Zen and Avant Garde" at Cherry Street Artisan. Well worth it though. Seido Ray Ronci read from his poetry accompanied by Mike Barber on bass, Jesse Lynch, piano and Richard Cravens doing computer generated images. Brewed coffee for Farmer's Market on Sat. and then helped Steve set up for the show. Beautiful blue morning, and we played from a little after 9 a.m. until about 11:30 a.m. Our rhythm was pretty strong, judging by the toe tapping and the kids dancing. I got to sit next to Buddha, the bass player, and his amp was right behind me. It was neat to be in the bass pocket. I'm not 100% on all the chord changes, so I've got to be sure I can at least see S's chords, which is a little more of a challenge with D holding down harmony vocals now and usually sitting next to S. Must learn stuff by heart now - alas. J's first weekend of work, a milestone of sorts. Nuttin but Noodlz. She came home with some cool stories aboot the cru there. You go girl!
