Anne Marie (accordion); Roland (guitar, banjo, autoharp, jew's harp); Bill (guitar, banjo, fiddle, harmonica)
I had a great time tonight playing music with Roland and Anne Marie on the front porch at Wemple & Edick's ice cream shop in Sammonsville. It was great to be able to play the fiddle as much as I did; God knows I need more practice playing it in group situations. My bum finger is still healing, and by the time we finished playing tonight, it was beet-red and swollen, but the good news is that it more or less works. Roland and Anne Marie had never met before tonight, so it was cool that we were able to play some songs pretty well (there were a few false starts, but who's counting?) I think the highlight was "Pay Me My Money Down," which seemed to have folks tapping their toes.
The owners said we're welcome to do it again, so perhaps we'll be there on the porch once more before the end of the summer. Stay tuned for details on that.
My next gig will be at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 29 at the Moon & River Cafe, 115 S. Ferry St., Schenectady.
