We swam in the big sea, and it was completely exhilarating. All of our energy was focused on one big event, (see previous post), and it happened. The reception was rapturous. Maybe the audience was better than the band? I don’t know, we did good. A few minor kerfuffles, (ok, mainly due to me), but that just affirmed that it was a live performance. Nothing really threw us off. 9 musicians, the finest, most extraordinary musicians and humans that you can ever imagine, all bringing it to a room of devoted fans. The feedback loop was quite exquisite. Lots of smiles, kind words, and heartfelt kudos afterwards. This morning it all seems like a strangely wonderful dream. whitewolfsonicprincess; it really is an entity, an energy, that is bigger than all of us. Band and audience joining together to create a higher vibration. Golden. Really quite the thing. Not sure how it happens, but when it does, there is nothing better. – Jammer

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

Blue Velvet – David Lynch

Questions: Why do we read great novels, plays, non-fiction books? Why do we watch great films?

Possible answer: To know who you are, to know where you are, to understand your feelings, your culture; to find clues about what’s happening, and what it all means.

So, you know, weird shit happens, and you can say: “This is all so Shakespearean.” Or, “I feel like I’m stuck in a Beckett play.” Or, “Is this a David Lynch movie?” You think of George Orwell, Hunter S. Thompson, William Gibson, Stanely Kubrick, William Burroughs, Harold Pinter, PT Anderson, Kurt Vonnegut and well, you try to puzzle it all out. – Jammer

We were back to playing in the street yesterday. There is something so gratifying & rewarding about playing music with our band so close to home, smack dab in the middle of our own neighborhood, surrounded by lots of friends and familiar faces. We are so lucky to know so many truly wonderful folks.

We put the bill together, hustled our gear down the street, did the setup and takedown; you know the whole package deal. It’s a bit of a circus. “Hey kids, let’s put on a show.”  It just happens that the street is bounded by the the train-line one side, and looming buildings on the other, which makes for a sonically resonant soundscape.

Lars Von Keist & Scott Free opened the show with a fantastic, dynamic duo set. Heartfelt originals played with fire and passion. Quite thrilling to see & hear two unique souls giving it their all.

whitewolfsonicprincess followed with a full set, old tunes & new tunes brought to life with two special guests, Rich Poston on guitar and Eli Wilson on sax. We felt good about our set. The mix was great. When it sounds good to us, it’s easier to find that transcendence in performing. Afterwards smiles all around.

Then it was The Leisure Committee led by Eli V. Wilson on a classic, legendary, Mark 6 saxophone. A great, super-fun quartet. All fantastic players. How to describe the music? Chill, Space-Age, Lounge Jazz. Great originals and a quirky-cool cover of Spy Vs. Spy. Perfect way to end the show. 

It was good one. That street has a bit of magic in the shadow of the fabulous La Principal restuarant. A thriving little scene. Yes, the Custer Street Oasis. Pretty cool, a place where the kool kats kongregate. – Jammer
