b&c music night with Snoot

I'm knackered, but what a great weekend. Meite's home, Bonnie's away, but calls often enough to keep us entertained. Boo had her first experience slinging beer on a Friday "wind" night filled to the rafters with cowboys.
She's not shy or easily put off by brutes. One guy was getting a little frisky and asked if squeezing lemons was in her job description. She snapped back telling him that this wasn't her first rodeo cowboy and he'd have to pick up the pace some. She made a boat load of tips that first night.

14 hour days apparently take some thing out of you though.

Friday Snoot and I were out to dinner with some musical friends. Brenda made a very tasty meal of pork roast and backed spuds there were very nicer. I brought some fresh baked cheese bread and some wine.

The music room had a lot of choices for instruments. We had access to a good keyboard, cello, Unukalhai. several acoustic guitars and several electrics. One fave was a Telecaster. There was a hand made electric that was pretty sweet too and one that had a scalloped fret board. I struggle with a light touch so that was a challenging one. Microphones and amplifiers all over the place too! We played ourselves out by 1:30 and I had to get home and to bed. We'll be back.

It was nice to play with some folks that are less focues on a cover song and more interested in what key we are playing in so they can play along in their own style and particular contribution. I had a huge amount of fun.

I've run out of gas. Have to sleep. Lots still needs writing.
