Chibi session tonight

[annathepiper]

It’s kind of lulzy that technoshaman, solarbird, and I made a point of doing a bit of session practice this weekend–because it turned out that the session tonight was just us and Annie! Our usual session leader was off busy playing with these guys at the Tractor Tavern tonight, so we had to make do with just us four!

But it was all good. Annie was technically our session leader but we took it really casually and just took turns picking things to play. This wound up meaning that Annie, being the one who knew various actual tunes, focused on those while Dara, Glenn, and I mostly chose the GBS ditties we knew and a couple of the other non-GBS things from Jam as well: “Elf Glade” and “Pirate Bill and Squidly”. The biggest reaction we got from the crowd in the bar though was the last thing we did: “Last Saskatchewan Pirate”. That got a big ol’ roar of approval, and that was very cool. :D

Y’all remember though how I said that at last week’s session, the guys at the bar let me have one of my drinks for free?

This time they let Dara and me eat for free, so I only had to fork over for my two Irish creams. Dara and I have been paid for making public music with tasty foods! WOO!

Hopefully next time we’ll be back up to a more normal size of group, but in the meantime I’m clearly going to have to check out Matt’s band. See previous commentary re: that dude can PLAY.

So I met this woman last week, an American with a baby just Young Indiana's age, and we were talking yesterday and she said, "So I wanted to see Robin Hood not because of Russell Crowe, but because there's this musician in it that I know." And she went on a little while about it while I squinted and thought everything she was saying sounded awfully familiar and finally she gets to where she says, "And he's in this band called Great Big Sea--"

And I say, "OH! You mean Alan Doyle! God, that was SO WEIRD, that all sounded SO FAMILIAR," and told her about you. :)

Hee! That's awesome. :)

Apparently she also knows the Young Dubs from before they were the Young Dubs, and stuff, too. :)

Sweet. :) I have a healthy respect for those boys, too!
