Hi Rawmy Fans,
I went to Romi's concert in Sudbury Sunday, a two and a half to three
hour drive from here. Walked over to the "Townehouse Hotel" on 206
Elgin Street, across the road so to speak from the Railroad Station.
You get off the train, walk across the street, get a room, go down to
the bar and wait for them to appear. That could have been yesterday,
it may be tomorrow, it is today.
The new music "under the radar" is coming your way. This is the new
sixies message music. Roots, new folk, whatever its name, it's not the
name, it is not about the type of sound, it is the message, and there
are different ways of saying it. I could say more, but why interfere
your journey.
Back to my trip to Sudbury.. Went to the townhouse, Got there around
7:30 because I wanted my seat. After a while I asked the bar tender if
Romi was still coming. He said, "absolutely". Good enough for me I
though. Then I asked, " when is she playing" and he said, "9:00".
Went for a walk around the downtown. Cold enough to control your
walking speed, if you let.
Once back at the townhouse the band showed up at nine started playing
around 10:00 or 11:00, who cares and who's keeping score. I had a good
time not waiting. Hell, I even saw a "Laughing Buddha". Then Romi
stepped up to the mike and just did her thing. Sounded just like the
CD only better. Live music, real people living in an unreal world.
Then just when I thought "how good is this", Andrew Neville and the
"Poor Choices".
Andrew started the set with "If youre goin' be stupid, you better be
tough", from that moment, they had my attention. Thank you Romi
Mayes, Andrew Neville and the Poor Choices for an envening of gift
giving.
What a night.
Appreciate it all.
This may sound too personal, but life is personal to me. This is who I
am. Ain't easy sometimes. There are; as my Dad would say,"there are
horses asses out there", but that's the way it is.
I want to see the whole world my way, and until I see different, I
assume the other person sees this world the same way as well.
You owe it to yourself, to see these people live and buy the CDs.
Bob
