Cape Cod

Another pandemic road trip! This time, Yacht Rock headed up to Cape Cod to play another drive-in show.

Lots of space on the plane to Boston. I am thankful that Delta isn't putting people in the middle seat these days. Keisha went all the way across from me to maximize the distance. Also, I am pleased to report that my mask did not affect my ability to fall asleep!

The guys and the gear met us at the airport and took us to the nearest Chipotle. Then, onward to Cape Cod!

Sooooo, here we go. A true drive in theater in Yarmouth, Massachusetts. Cars drive in, take their parking spots, and tune their radios to a particular frequency in order to hear the band. No PA stacked along the stage, no amps on stage. Without a radio, all you would hear is drums, a little bit of singing, and the occasional saxophone.

How was the gig? Pretty good, all things considered. We recently played a few recorded shows for private events, and those were much more of a grind. This felt a lot closer to a normal show, even with the oddities of cars and no PA. I definitely played better on this one.

As you might expect, there was plenty of horn honking and flashing headlights from the two hundred or so cars. With multiple people in each car, that's actually a solid turnout!

The next day, we flew home. This is the airport in Boston on a Saturday morning. Where is everybody?

About the only thing open in the airport was Dunkin' Donuts. Good thing. Caffeine is an essential part of every morning.

On the flight home, it was announced that our pilot was retiring. I'm guessing maybe it was probably retirement vs. probable furlough? It's not going well for the airline industry, either.

It looks like we're headed to Denver in a week to do another one. I'm glad we can do a few of these while the weather still makes it possible.
