Today (Sunday) was my bookend church gigs--one at 9:30 AM and one at 7 PM. I was a little more awake than last week. The morning gig went well--it was more of the regular service, so a bit less bombastic than last week's thing. No choir and almost no pipe organ. Same stuff for me, though--show and blow. Afterwards the next service began frantically setting up, and they wheeled out tympani. The big show must be at the 11 AM!
Sunday night's gig was the usual story--not much happening. I dedicated my performance to adding the interval of a perfect fourth to the lines I was playing. I fell asleep during the homily. The hot (female) usher was there. I started breaking in a new soprano sax reed. The pianist played more wrong notes than usual.
Here's a picture from last Friday's Yacht Rock gig at Andrews Upstairs/8 Trax. That's me up at the top of the picture. You can get a pretty good idea of how tight the stage is.
I've got a busy week coming up. Stay tuned.
