... And now a Story:
DRUMERS HAVE DEEP POCKETS
The intriguing element of being in a band is the wonderful people
that you meet. And as you know, there are all types- rockers,
folkies, and metallurgists - which you may meet at any type of gig,
be it a bar, disco, ballroom, or brewery. One summer, BLUE ON GREEN
had the fortune of performing outdoors in the Civic Center of San
Francicso. If you're not familiar with San Francisco, the Civic
Center houses the City, State and Federal buildings, most notably,
our beautiful City Hall, with its gold gilded dome (just like those
in France). The Civic Center also is the land of homeless and
destitute. It is a comfortable mix for which bureaucrats and
homeless seem to blend together into a mélange of city life.
Performing to such a crowd may seem blasé. The bureaucrats sit
comfortably in their chairs eating lunch while the homeless twirl and
dance- their faces contorted and their eyes having a far off, distant
look. No matter, the sun is out, people are dancing and we're
jamming in time. Suddenly, a homeless dancer rushes the stage,
nearly tripping over a guitar cord, heading for somewhere unknown to
us. Yet, he knows his goal, he lunges toward the drummer yelling to
him as the music crescendos "can you spare some change?" Does this
person know something about musicians? Are drummers paid more than
the guitarists? Are drummers perceived as sympathetic to
homelessness? (Perhaps being close to it themselves?) Do drummers
have deep pockets? Fortunately, our drummer was able to spare a
quater without missing a beat!
