Double Duty At The Saloon (12/06)
So..... keeping the momentum going, I decided to do a back-to-back at the Saloon and headed down for a second night in a row with Steve Freund and band.
I didn't have any takers and I don't think I even put out a call for takers on this night.
It was a great day to have "alone" time. The whole Thursday was really quite nice spending time by oneself.
Still without the van, I decided to drive the beater down there. It did some good to open it up on the freeway since my commute is normally slow and steady over the mountains every workday.
And besides that...the stereo in the beater is much better. I listened to Jackie Payne & Steve Edmonson the whole way there and back.
There's a show I need to go see. It's been awhile. Never a disappointing show from that band.
While driving, I was tuned into listening to Steve E. playing that guitar in the background and it was quite nice. He does some great work. He's just a "chattering" away on that thing while Jackie sings so sweet and soulful. I've still got that CD in the player. It's cool listening to the chattering on the way to work. Great way to start the day.
I just love the Saloon. Freund's guitar and singing is one of favorites. How could I not go?
He's another that will always have a great band put together.
Got there and it was Tim "The Iceman" Wager on bass and Robi bean on drums.
Yep, a trio.
Had some guests on harp and guitar. Real good Chicago blues that was much appreciated.
No rockin' blues here folks. Just pure ol' Chicago Blues. In my humble opinion....this band here is the best at it in this area.
Check 'em out!!
