No Austin Gig
Sep. 28th, 2005 08:11 pmIn another development much less bothersome since it looks like I can go back to NOLA soon, the gig tomorrow at Quality Seafood is canceled (evidently the owner changed mind about having a band for the first night of being open in the evening or something. Bandleader Doc is quite angry, as is his right.
Anyway, tomorrow night I'll probably go by Scholtz's, 17th & San Jacinto, to hear "The Wurst Band", which I'm told does a combination of German Ooompah, Dixieland, and other stuff. I may or may not be invited to sit in a little on something.

Good Music
Sep. 28th, 2005 11:16 pmH & I just got back from hearing a great Western Swing band, the "Ridgetop Syncopators", who have a regular Wednesday night gig at the Hole In The Wall on Guadelupe.
What an excellent band! And the string bass player, one Ricky Rees, is phenomenal, one of the best I've heard. I had a chance to talk with him a bit afterwards-- Pops Foster influence.
Amazing band-- no cover-- and $2 draft beers. Man! That right there is almost enough to make me decide to stay in Austin.
And that's without even mentioning that I don't feel like I need a shower going to hear music, as the bars in Austin are now non-smoking.
There I unexpectedly met Steve Gav and Dr. Eddie, two other Tumblers and members of the MOM's Royal Band, out club hopping. They were similarly impressed.
The Ridgetop Syncopators are flying up to Washington D.C. for a day to play at the Kennedy Center.
