Fist real Salsa gig goes well. The people danced the night away....

Amongst grey clouds and talk of rain, we went ahead and setup for an outdoor gig last night.

Sabroso played our first gig with two more on the books this month. Man, when this band is hittin, it hits hard. And of course, for the level of difficulty of this music and for it being our first live show, there were problems. And it always seems that everyone I know who shows up to see us play always see the disaster songs and leave. That ALWAYS happens.
But we had our moments.

So I worked at the music store from 10am - 5:30, then straight to the gig. Finished around 8:20, hung out for a while, went to Linneas 'Jazz Jam' night and jumped in for a song before heading home.

It was then that I realized why my playing was sub-par this evening. 2 reasons:

1) I didn't eat since lunch.

2) All the salsa and jazz I've been playing in the last 2 months have been almost exclusively on upright bass. Due to weather concerns I played electric tonight, which screwed up everything for me.

and 420 and music don't work together.
