2007 Sept 22 Sallie's Birthday Party

  • That's right.... "Palm and Marengo".
  • People started to gather early.
  • These included English, Spanish, French and various other flavors.
  • Even a token American or two.
  • We argue about where to set up the band.
  • Of course, there were also gifts for Sallie.
  • What's left of our BBQ type arrangements.
  • Shall we play indoors? That's where the keyboard seems to be.
  • Alexis admires the new fridge.
  • Keyboard still inside.
  • A happy man and his beloved stove.
  • OK, outside then. A happy man and his beloved guitar.
  • A happy birthday girl and her beloved microphone.
  • Dr. Bob mans the desk as always.
  • Experiment part one... how inebriated can Theo be and still play the guitar?
  • Fairly inebriated it seems.
  • The rest of the band were of course entirely sober!
  • The crowd less so, which is a good thing.
  • OK, he can play.... but can he keep it in tune?
  • Ah.... no.
  • Yes, Alexis feels the rain first.
  • OK, how the fuck to you tune this thing?
  • Tom tells another great joke.
  • We play on regardless.
  • Back in tune, Theo sings a song.
  • Tom plays his sax.
  • Some good bass and decent lead playing occurred.
