MegaBeatles at Avenue 912

 

I actually want to get the advertisements out of the way first.

A great thanks to Avenue 912 for opening up this venue and brining in local musicians who play both cover and original. It is a wonderful facility with great staff. Please get the word out fans so that we can keep this venue thriving!

A shout-out to Authentic Irish Tours Travel Agency. They are hosting a Liverpool-London Beatles Forever Tour for August 4-10, 2022. Seven days and 6-nights for $1,999 per person.

A big applause goes to the MegaBeatles. It was wonderful. Their passion brought emotion, different than if it were The Beatles, yet humbling in listening to and watching their show tonight. I felt like I was part of the band. I found myself drifting in thought because The Beatles songs apply to today just as much as they did back then.

For those who do not know, MegaBeatles are made of two bands, The Chris and Lou band, and the Crawpuppies. Both bands interact on stage, switching out drummers, bass players, and lead singers. So you will see just a few of them on stage at times, and the whole complement when needed.

The next MegaBeatles show "Beatles In The Barn" will be at the County Line Orchard on April 9th!!!

The next photograph far right you can see a silhouette. That is the bass player Aaron's wife, who was the first out on the dance floor! 😊

Steepwater - Nomad 1/8/2022

Happy birthday to my bride Christi!!!

This song is called Christi's Restaurant, and it's about Christi, and the Restaurant, but Christi's Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant. That's just the name of the song, and that's why I called the song Christi's Restaurant.
"You can have any birthday party you want at Christi's Restaurant
You can have any birthday party you want at Christi's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a minute from Dairy Queen
You can have any birthday party you want at Christi's Restaurant

(just go to the back, or go to Leroy's tonight)"

Yes, I took from Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant". I believe the song was meant as a hash of anything goes in a song.

This annual event with The Steepwater Band and Leroy's "Hot Stuff" restaurant is always so cool. Of the recent past years, Nomad Planets has joined them. Two totally different sounding bands getting together to play original music, all of which heightens our spirits.


It depends on your groove at the moment, which song will grab you and take you to another level. Both bands had songs like that this evening that sent my emotions to a happy place. The same can happen with a connection to a band member. Of course all of this changes each time you meet. This night I connected with Eric Saylors again. His groove was my groove. He cranked it when I wanted it and laid back for emphasis. Yes, sometimes the down and low can be the emphasis. It does not always need to be the hammer.


I was very pleased with Leroy's this evening. Of course the food is always good. The service tonight was expectational. What I really appreciated my first time back in a couple of years, was the non-smoking environment. What a pleasant change.


As it sometimes is at a venue, lighting can be a real challenge. Low light, red light, is not a photographers friend. So I have converted all of the photographs to black and white and corrected the grain in some from high speed shooting. Some of the photographs I used additional editing to give it a different look that would pop the photo a little bit more. Hope it works for you . . .
