Please Pleaserock Me (Yacht Rock plays the Beatles) was back for our almost monthly show at Smith's Olde Bar. We sold it out!
Playing these songs is a nice change of pace, not only because they're not the Yacht Rock set list, but also because I play almost nothing but saxophone.
It was unfortunate that our load in occurred during an afternoon of rain. The water coming off the roof made for a wet gauntlet going up and down the stairs with gear.
There have been a couple of improvements in the dressing rooms. Gone are the couch and the crappy plywood shelf, replaced with a couple of much nicer benches and built in refrigerators. Very nice. Also, it doesn't smell like cat pee anymore. Hopefully they'll rebuild the men's restroom next. It might be cleaner to pee in the alley.
The gig went pretty well. I didn't have much to offer--I played alright, but there wasn't anything special about what I did.
We crashed and burned on the end of Hello Goodbye. I think Nick missed a verse.
Darren English joined us trumpet for the evening.
Full room! Very cool.
We're doing this stuff again next Friday night at 37 Main in Buford. See you there!
