The thing about it was, nobody in the whole room, nobody that worked there - not even the interim manager - could figure out how to turn on the lights to the inside bandstand where we were playing. We played from 4:00 to 8:00 (remember Sunday was Mother’s Day) and by 6:00 it was getting pretty dark up there. By 7:00 I defy anyone to see any band in the room at all playing. That’s ok, we don’t need to “see” to play. There was a time when that would’ve bothered me, but you know what? I don’t even care anymore! Funny thing was I noticed none of the other guys had a problem playing either. I thought that was cool. I mean we were all shaking our heads and there was quite a bit of eye rolling going on, but I guess we’re to the point that we don’t even complain anymore about this stuff. Every single gig has it’s own little cutesy nuance, why should I think this one should be any different? It’s all fun! Next gig, Full Mesh at Lion And Bull in Haymarket. I know they know how to turn their lights on!
