On Thursday night I'll do a show with lots of friends at Cinema Bar in
Culver City. It'll be a good bill at a good bar, and on the west side
of LA for once.
I'll open up around 8:30 and do a mini set. Suzy Williams and Stormin
Norman will rock it from 9 or so for 30-45 minutes. Around 9:45 I'll
come back and play a little, joined by Joan Renner to tell about the
tragic cold hearted murder of little Marion Parker by the cold hearted
murderer Edward Hickman. Then Madame Pamita will do a mini set with
me backing her up. And then I'll play out whatever time is left for
the night, with Blind Pony sitting on on harp for one or two numbers.
Here's Suzy and Norman hamming up a Valentine song:

So what's it all mean, well, ok, so, here's the story. There's beer
AND music. Suzy's a fun hammy singer and Norman is a fun hammy piano
player. There's a show tune influence. Maybe some big band or Randy
Newman. They have put out records and played in big time places.
Suzy and I live in the same neighborhood, which is how I got her to do
a bit of slumming.
Joan is a trash history buff who does the groovy Vintage Powder Room blog:

Pam, I mean Madame Pamita, does mystical prognostickeration and raw
old hillbilly tunes:

In his day job, Blind Pony is a repo man, so best not drive your own car:

And all of this costs NO MONEY whatsoever. It is free as a bird.
