r&r diary — “The Breakfast Club Show…” – 10.21.24

It was a “spirit slot.” You know, opening the Main Street Fall Fest at 11:00 a.m. on a gorgeous Sunday in October. Thank you Lighthouse Rotary, Main Dempster Mile, Dan Coyne & Rob Brady for letting us do our thing.

There were a few early risers with us during setup. whitewolfsonicprincess at our church service. Singing our truth to the street, and to the gloriously blue sky. Once we fired up the amps, and took our places onstage, we had a happy little crowd with us.

It was a big-time, real-deal, professionally appointed, sound-system & stage; fabulous, thunderous vibrations. B&B Productions, a first class act for sure. They dialed us all in. It all sounded magnificent to our ears. Afterwards lots of kind words and smiles. What a kick. We stuck around for La Furia, Suite Mollie and Tributosaurus doing Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. It was all quite inspiring. Neil’s song is still ringing my ears this early Monday morn: “Tin soldiers and Nixon coming, we’re finally on our own, this summer I hear the drumming, four dead in Ohio…” And Stevie Wonder’s too (thanks to fabulously funky Suite Mollie) “Living just enough for the city…” Yes. It was quite the good time. – Jammer
