I love coffee shops. The best gigs we have played has been coffee shops. Tonight we played Big Mountain Coffee in Helena, Alabama which is in Old Town Helena.
The decor is funky with rough brick walls, frumpy old couches and chairs. The smell of fresh brewing coffee. One feature of a coffee shop is the unexpected sounds emitted when the staff makes Mocca Lattes or other manufactured drink. You can be in the middle of an intimate, heart felt song and when you get to the best part of the song WAAAAANNNNNN CHUUUUNNNKK BLAAAAAAA, WHIZZZZZZZ. It's comical and fitting as you need to be slapped when you get too serious about music and/or life.
Anyhow, next week we play at Berkley Bob's Coffee Shop in Cullman. We are looking forward to seeing our friend Bob again.
Have a great weekend.
Hey Rick,
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see ya'll were down in my old stomping grounds. If I had known you were going to be there I could have dropped by and heckled you for a while. Just you, not Jilda and Steve.
Have you ever considered that you might go to one of these gigs sometime, look up, and there would be the guys from your old Hardware Mtce Group? That even scares me!
Ya'll keep it real and I'll keep enjoying the music.
Ken
