Last night the 1 uppers played our first gig. It was a lot of fun and many wonderful friend came down to Ballard to observe the mayhem. It went pretty well for a debut, with the usual sorts of furtive starts / stops and a trainwreck or two (but what kind of country band wouldn’t have a trainwreck?).
Many thanks to David and Anne, Frank, Kellie and Cynthia, Ken and Art, and most of all to my wife, for coming out to hear us play.
Big kudos to Jon Hyde for putting this thing together. He positively slayed “3 Picks”, a Lloyd Green instrumental. And Kris Geren delivered a perfect performance of “Sad Is The Lonely” by Don Rich. Overall a fine evening of beer and twang. Can’t wait for the next one!
