Yacht Rock played a private party last night (Saturday) in Atlanta. Not too much to report here, other than our old friend Kevin Leahy subbed for the vacationing Mark Cobb on drums. I've known Kevin since our freshman year at Indiana; suddenly, that was more than twenty years ago.
Anyway, it was two seventy-five minute sets with a half hour break for the DJ to fill. The setlist was very safe, as is always the case when we have subs.
One of the more exciting/annoying moments of the gig was the lady who invited herself on stage to dance not once but twice. I guess there's the "everybody look at me!" thing, but I'm not sure what the thrill is. We didn't even play Dancing in the Dark.
The other moment: a lady (different from our dancer) offered us sexual favors in exchange for playing an encore. We did play the extra tune, but there was no payoff. Nor did she help break down or load our gear out (which I would have preferred).
