I'm glad things went well in South Freeport.

We had a pretty good audience to start out at the Mocha Cafe but it turns out they were there to hear a group that calls themselves Clothespins. Not coffeehouse material at all. They showd up with a pickup truck loaded to the gills with equipment and promptly unloaded it on to my little stage. I explained as they did so that they would only get two songs but that didn't seem to faze them at all. I also explained that the room is very lively and doesn't need much sound to drive it. They explained that they were a "quiet" band.

I banned their amplifiers right away. I explained that I wanted them to connect into my board because I needed to mix their sound. We finally got them going and they ran a couple of soft rock numbers and then bailed out, completely. They left without staying to see anyoone else perform. Not a good way to act at all.

The rest of the evening went well. We had a great mix of performers doing anything from their own music to good old gospel tunes. The featured performer, Alison Freeman, did a mix of traditional music and her own singer-songwriter stuff (as I kidded her earlier, singing her diary). She has a beatiful voice and is restarting a musical career in the Boston area. For those of you down there keep your eyes open for Heaven Street at the local clubs and open mikes.

Animaterra, I assume you had some sort of costume. Are you wearing it to the party?
