r&r diary — “Lovely Carla – Conductor of the Vibes…” – 02.04.24

If you have seen our band perform live, you know, the Lovely Carla is the “conductor of the vibes,” she is the driving force, the hurricane of creativity, the primary striver towards that nebulous unicorn called “perfection.” Still, her feet are planted firmly on the ground, her head is in the game, and she knows that all that striving is just the motion towards a chimeric ideal.

So yeah, the leader of the band, the primary conductor, vocalist, lyricist, and lately, pretty definitively, the 3rd percussionist in the ensemble. She has propelled us to a bit of a new sound, a new vibe, a new cohesiveness as a group. Pictured above are some of her instruments. She also has bells, shakers, tambourines, and a Tibetan singing bowl.

Our next show is this coming Thursday, February 8, at the Montrose Saloon. We take the stage at 8 p.m. sharp. Carla will “ring the bell for peace and healing,” and then the WWSP whirlwind of sound, (a fabulous collection of musicians, and me, “the destroyer of strings”), will commence to do our thing. I, of course, do my best to keep up with all the talent surrounding us, trying not to fuck up. Ha. We each have our own method for living.

Hope you can join us. It will be epic; new songs, old songs, a whirling-dervishing, 8-piece ensemble. Maximum vibe, maximum fun. – Jammer
