Thoughts On The 8/21 Dudley Manlove Quartet Performance
On Saturday 8/21 The Dudley Manlove Quartet performed at a private wedding reception on Bainbridge Island. The event was planned for the early evening on what is usually a dry August weekend. However, the weather deities chose to befuddle us with some randomization. The event was outdoors on the grassy yard of a beautiful house. Our host had wisely pre-arranged for a large tent to be set up over part of the dining area. We set up in one corner of the tent and after a quick soundcheck we left the site to change. Upon returning it was clear that rain was coming our way. We pulled everything under the tent (as best we could) and hung a tarp behind Jeff to keep the rain from blowing in on him. The performance was fun, and we enjoyed ourselves. Once the show was over we scrambled to pack up our cars and bolted to catch the ferry back to Seattle. We arrived just in time to pile aboard before it sailed. Overall, a fun show. Always a good time with the DMQ crew.
