We were playing outdoors, under the canopy, to an almost full house yesterday (the tourist season is waning). There were only a couple of tables left. A group of bikers parked, came in, pushed two tables together, and about a dozen of them sat down. Then they started "talking" with sign language, and I realized they were all deaf. Hands flying everywhere, and ignoring the band. Other people were dancing, listening and applauding, but these folks were not paying attention at all. Imagine that. Actually, I was fascinated by their conversion. I could see the facial and physical expression with their hands, whether it was excitement, disagreement, joy, or whatever. Quite entertaining. They had their meal, and left. I hope they come back. Notes ♫

Valve or slide?

Lucky me, I like to play music, and music makes me money.

Did you hear about the restaurant on the moon? I heard the food was good but it had no atmosphere.

Living in South Florida, I won't drive to the mountains for a gig.

I just read that someone in London gets stabbed every 52 seconds. Poor guy.

Funk 49 – James Gang

I'd hoped you'd stop by and remind me that I'm just being a big wuss. I only play out 2 or 3 times a month. Last Summer it was 4 times a month, but we decided that was too much. I get tired at the end of a gig, it's a good kind of tired, though. But let me tell you this, as most musicians know, at the end of the night, the gear is a lot heavier to move than it was when setting up. I figure there are tons of unused notes still inside. If I only did 2 or 3 times a month, I'd go broke. Music is all I do to buy the groceries. I've only had a couple of real jobs in my life, so that makes me the wuss.

I like my saxophone, it's bling.

Happy New Old Synth Day
