... 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!

For those interested in BLUE ON GREEN Road Stories, read on.

BASS MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND

No matter to whom you perform, it's the engagement and response of
the audience that makes a show fun.  A really good audience can be
children, because seeing them stomp and move and run with joy makes
you smile and feel good about your artistic contribution to the next
generation.  Equally important is the encouragement of making that
next generation, which sometimes requires good vibes, alcohol and a
bass solo.  Now most people at the mention of a bass solo think of
overindulgent musicians and/or Moose mating calls. We at BLUE ON
GREEN challenge such thinking.  One night at O'NEIL'S IRISH PUB in
San Mateo, BLUE ON GREEN performed to a particularly wily crowd
dancing to our rendition of a rocking blues number called "I CAN'T
HOLD OUT".  I don't know what got into me. Maybe it was a lapse in my
judgment, but I called out for a bass solo after the second verse.
The thump-thump of the acoustic bass suddenly dominated the sound, as
I announced to the dancing mass that it was time to get it on with
that "big bottom".  Suddenly a woman appeared with her backside to
the band.  As I explained the finer nature of the tones of the "low
down" bass, this woman proceeded to repeatedly spank her behind,
egging on the bassist.  There was no stopping her, or the bass solo.
As she continued, the crowd danced and waved their hands into a frenzy, as the
bass summed up the force behind the cycle of life, "it's that low down bottom
end that make the world go round."
