art of the jam 17
there were some peeps from nola at the wreck tonight. they came in during the first set (when everytime i looked up it seemed there were a few more ppl in the room than the last time i looked) and were playing pool in the room off to the side.
sticky d. couldn't make it to the little jam 'cos he's leaving in the morning for bay st. louis, mississippi, to rescue his uncle who's been stranded there since the hurricane with no power or running water and a 6' x 6' hole in his roof. here's hoping yr trip is safe and everything goes smoothly, bro.
carl pack came out for the first time in weeks and graced the stage for a coupla toons. the little wreck room seemed more like itself when he was in the house.
it wound up being a pretty good night, even though we started late and there was no one in the back room (including jammers) when we started -- just lee allen, joe cruz, and me. after awhile, darrell from confusatron showed up and set up his computer with keyboard thingy attached and made things a lot more interesting with his ambient sounds 'n' samples. jeffrey williams from kulcha far i drummed some, and said the kulcha boys are going to be backing a singer from africa on tour for a couple of weeks after john shook returns from amsterdam. for the second set, fern and jeff got up with their nylon-strings, bringing their mellow brazilian vibe to the proceedings. at the ass-end of the night, we played "cissy strut" for nola, then jammed a little funk that brought the folks from the big easy (who are currently residing over at will rogers memorial center) up to the front of the stage. felt good. afterwards, one of the cats told me that they'd gone to another bar earlier and the bartender wouldn't even serve 'em. hard to figure.
btw, i found out that this weekend, fred's has a guest chef, another crescent city evacuee whom terry chandler met on fred's relief run last weekend. he'll be cooking a nawlins special this friday night. sounds like a good time to go check out saint frinatra (and try and arm-twist brian sharp into coming back out to the jam). we can't forget "the city that care forgot."
