OK, the Saturday is behind us. One more day to go- the Crown Inn at 5 pm.
Yesterday was a managable day only because I have 3 great friends that are willing to move their body weight in gear, navigating crowds and city streets with speaker cabinets and guitars. Eat sandwiches from a gas station. And drink beer.
Eric, Alan and Marion, you guys are aces. Thanks a bunch.
Here's what we survived:
Started with a 2pm gig at the Newgate bar. A great room with fantastic acoustics. I was there from 2-4. And then had to race down south for a gig at the Bond. As always the Bond is a great time, lots of great people, smiling, drinking and dancing. A 7:30 finish and then a race back to Arbroath for an 8pm gig at the Station Bar (new and improved since the last time, bigger and better) for an 8-10 pm show there.
My fingers are pretty sore. I have no voice left. Once more gig to go.
Oh, in addition to Eric's company all day as navigator and wrangler, we made it to one of my favorite cheap places to eat- the 123 Chinese Takeaway by the train station. It's so good I'm going back today and bringing food home for the tribe. And eating there today as well.
OK, all. Gotta go pack the van. It'll be guitars with fairly light strings today. No prisoners, though.
