Thank you!!!! and Fiddlity Bits

First – thanks to everybody who came and thanks to everybody who told us how much they liked the set – I’m not really that good at taking complements – my deeply ingrained low self esteem keeps me from that. I suppose that if we ever end up hitting the big time it’ll keep me from getting a swelled head but in the meantime – it’s kind of a pain in the ass.

Anyway the set was the longest that we ever did – and on top of that we got an encore request – our first one so again thank you people at Quay’s.

As usual with the sets that go well – a) it seemed to just blaze right by and b) nobody could hear anybody else – the audience didn’t have that problem which really is way it should be – hell the Beatles didn’t play with any monitor speakers – at least not in the cavern.

So far we’ve had some very good results at Irish Bars – who knows why maybe they can grock what’s going on better than some other crowds or maybe they are just drunk on beer and would cheer anyway as long as the girls were pretty.

Which they were – frankly without the girls this band is well some dumpy guys and who wants to see that. At least 5 guys fell in love that night – which is about right for Valentines Day – doomed to heart break all but that’s about right for Valentine’s Day too.

So thanks to the Quays and their wonderful folks – including the guy who told me “Don’t ever Stop man don’t ever stop” we won’t not while a sick breath is in this body.

And to the guy who kept saying “God Bless you God Bless you” to me – thanks. I’m not sure you really heard what we played but thanks.

So again thanks to the Astoria Arts and Music folks for inviting us. Hope it helped.

Meantime – I realize it’s been so long since we’ve had someone in the white house who knew what the hell he was doing – I’m not used to it. Neither are the GOP who at least in the house could all have their brains scooped out of their heads and replaced with squawk boxes that would say “no” or “Tax Cuts” at random intervals – the brains could then be donated to help accident victims.

There is such a disconnect here between inside the beltway and the rest of the world – the village (the inside the beltway folks) think the GOP is just doing a dandy job right now – the rest of the world is torn between calling them evil bastards or stupid assholes.

Also their defense of Bankers bonuses is well flat out stupid -they are sounding like a over paid free agent complaining that he didn’t get any performance bonuses because he only hit .237 with 12 home runs and 54 runs batted in while playing a whole season and earning $11 million but still he feels he deserves the bonus because he tried so hard or some such. It’s not a winning argument.

The Last few moments of Shea are upon us – it’s a sad feeling to look at that picture. More on that when it’s completely gone.

Meantime we’re anxious to play and we’re even working on a new song.

Peace Love Thanks again. .
