Last night’s show at Club TRiP was another great night relaxing with John, the owner of the club. We didn’t have a particularly good turn out, but it was a Monday and with the economy coming down hard on everyone, I wasn’t surprised. Still, the small group that was there to hear me seemed to really have a great time.
I sang the usual suspects. Songs from of all 4 of my albums, including fan favorites Firefly and Camelot. I also broke into my usual 80s TV theme song medley as well as invited special guest singer Dale Spollett and special guest guitarist Dan O’Sullivan to come on stage and improvise with me. Dan is an amazing guitarist and I mostly just let him riff and marvelled at his bluesy soloing, with a sort of slide guitar sexiness to it. The silly audience suggested improv songs (no people, I do not come up with this stuff on my own) of the night included the song “1940s Hookers and Blow” which had its finest moment during a funny disco remix part, and a song sure not to be a hit “A 500 lbs Girl and her 6 Guy Roomates.” Mildly entertaining.
Anyway, big thanks to John the club owner for the relaxing monday and also for upgrading the sound system there – the new improvements sound great. Dan and Dale for jumping on-stage, Aaron for rocking the percussion, Ken for taking photos with his camera phone when the digital camera battery died, and the small pocket of friends I had out. It was great to see all of you!!
