mischief makin’ and karaokin’

the family spent the weekend at my mom’s house, while they were out of town. We had a mountain of laundry to conquer and use of a digital camera.

what!, why do you think we are up to somethin’

my angel?

we start them early, in their training for karaoke godliness. here they are perfecting their own Janis and Cocker duet.

Michael’s gig last night went off well, despite his bass breaking in two, when he took it out of it’s case, before the show (it’s fixable…). So he went electric and still played till his fingers bled. He has another show next sat at the wayout club, down in the city. hopefully the upright will be fixed by then and a babysitter will come through.

I talked to my friend sara yesterday and she always makes me happy. There’s something about being poor, a wife, with kids and not normal, that we can relate to each other… and have a nice laugh about it as well. i miss my portland people a lot.

Honky Tonk G-Spot

Michael has joined a new band, Honky Tonk G-Spot. I’m excited about this one. Not only because Michael is playing with a rockabilly band but we now have an upright bass in our home. I haven’t seen him play with them yet, but if I can get my little cousin to watch the kids tomorrow night, they are playing at Mac’s C’mon Inn, 9pm.

this is Michael, before we met, playing bass with his old band The Last Call Brawlers.  This was a afternoon side gig on one of their tours in CA.  This is the same tour when Michael’s beautiful bass fell over into oblivion. A sad sad day.
