Sunday Night in North Olmstead

Had a lil' Sunday Night get together with some friends last night, my first time out to visit Kris, Liz and baby Stella in North Olmstead. What a neat place Kris and Liz have, it's right there on a river with a bunch of trees and the view is really natural from the kitchen with the river and the trees and all. Kris made chilli and steak and we all ate some good food, drank some thick beer, and then setup for some jamming.

And jam we did (if only for a short while) with Kris playing drums, Tim Fry played his electric guit fiddle through a real vintage English made Marshall (a really tiny vintage Marshall - really cute with the smallest Celestian speaker I think I have ever seen - but it sounds real cool) Matt Gerovac played acoustic guitar and did some singing, I played the bass and it all felt good considering we hadn't played together under these circumstances before - we hit a couple of real good grooves - makes me wonder what we could do if we (brace yourself - here comes the dreaded word) practiced. Kris had company to entertain (Adam and Sarah, Miles and Evelynn from - uhm, somewhere West of Vermillion) and there were wee children on the scene (which is always cool because the young moms are so very nice and the kids Stella, Miles and Evelyn were sooooooo cute) so we didn't play for more than an hour nonetheless this little jam made me think that we might be doing this more frequently (not as practice per se but more for fun, dontcha know). And when the nice weather sets in Kris has a fire pit in the back yard out by the river - yeah!!

On a side note, I just got an email from Charlie Mosbrook this morning and he asked to have a link to his site added to my growing list - so, there it is over there on the right side of the page, although the links list is sorted alphabetically by the link and not the name. Looks like Charlie has a few gigs up on his schedule so I am gonna get out to one of em' in the near future. Stay in touch Charlie, good to hear from you!!
