Wine Celler Gig

Dylan's made quite a splash hosting his gigs at the wine celler.
I want to thank him for inviting me and Flick to play with the Slice last night.

And I thought it was wonderful that Chad Langford played bass on so
many tunes.

The tableside serenade that JFAT gave Jill McG. was both
breathtaking and tearjerking. Jeni kills with one tune.

I bet there are very few venues where completely acoustic performances
are given with no mikes or amps whatsoever.
It's a whole different way of playing. (The old way.)

The only thing I regret was not being able to be in two
places at once. I would like to have heard the ambient sound in the room,
and what an old screech Owl sounds and looks like when he's screaming
out the blues at the top of his lungs. I bet it was pretty funny. Did you see
my glasses flying off? What a nerd!

And Leonard... I swear! Was he conducting or what? That was just
remarkable, and wonderful. Talk about swapping energy!

And through it all, there were Dylan and Nick, layin' down good old slices
of banjo and dobro so that Flick the Fly could soar and dive like a falcon
on his Alto and Tenor Saxs. The crowd, too, was completely awesome –
especially the time when the music stopped and they just kept singing.

Really good vibration.

Thanks again, D.
