And a few others that I didn't get their name.
Notes:
I basically showed up incognito, wearing my trademark fedora hat and sunglasses and nobody knew me. Well except for Amanda Marshall who waved at me on stage. I saw Jim Ottaway, my class mate from the class of 79 and promptly forgot who he was. I did give Troy a break on the the two songs I usually do, declining to play Waiting For The Bus/Jesus Left Chicago Medley, I wasn't sure on the breaks. I figured I just stay with the ones I know best. They came out all right.
Tami Soukup wowed the crowd with some of her cheerleader things she used to do in high school. She did the splits quite well and did some amazing cartwheels. And revealed purple undies as well. All Reet! She still got it!
Terry McDowell was there tho he declined to play drums, it's not a paying gig and he has to host tomorrow's Rumors Jam. He won't have to worry about competition from Checkers', there won't be an acoustic jam any more. From what Murray, the Checker's regular, said, Julie was there but nobody showed up and P J sent her home once and for all.
I was off to Parlor City after Four Day Creep ended, met Troy's friend from the Chinese place last week and dammed if I forgot his name. I managed to order up a Chef's salad and ate that before completing the Blues jam with two songs with Doug Ducey, who also didn't know me since I had my hat on. I'm guessing the base player was from the Roadhouse band, tho the guy who played bass was clean shaven.
Healthwise, I didn't cough all that much except for having a dry throat at Julie's place when I visited her afterwards. Seems like everybody was happy to see me, Franklin, Benny, even Sabrina managed to rub up on me for the time I was there. Even Julie.
I think I'm finally turning the corner on this GD bronicitus crap, but I'm sure by the time that I go to bed the coughing will return.
The Madison bargain hunt I think I'm going to postpone till September. Last week was the best time to go up there before school started but my back spams coughing prohibited that to happen. If it don't rain I'll just go to Dubuque and then to Davenport to watch the Kernels/River Bandits play Monday. I haven't been that enthused of going to Madison anyway. I'm sure 151 is back to four lane but the Verona exits will be fucked up getting into Mad City. It could be my illnesses of the year has made me stayed closer to home and having better success finding 45s here rather than drive up there. I'm sure there's plenty of turnover of music since I haven't been there since June of last year. Once I get to feeling better I may consider going sooner. But for now, it's not a go.
