We're high 90's F here. Oppressive! But indoor gigs are great anyway.
So we loaded up the gear today and headed to Post #1 of the American Legion here in Tulsa, to play a couple of sets for their steak night. They have a nice dedicated stage complete with power, floor fans, and a/c in the big main room, which is where we set up. The guy who originally pointed us to this place was there and working in the kitchen. We gave Beau a cd for his trouble.
We kicked off at 5:30 to some 25 people or so, and after the first set there were more like 75 people there. Everybody was tucking in to some nice steaks, and the kitchen set aside some prime rib for Jo and me to bring home.
The first set we were kind of feeling our way and people were more into their plates, but we know to carry on and do what we do anyway. A couple of folks dropped a tip in the bucket at any rate so we knew we were on the right track. After a break we took the stage again and we- and the crowd- seemed a bit looser. We kind of cut loose, everything from John Henry to some Memphis Minnie, Jimmy Reed to Little Walter along with several original songs in there as well. So second set was where we really got down and got some nice response from the audience. Jo's playing on guitar was flawless and I replied on harp well, and vocals were spot on.
On second break a guy came by and bought one each of all 3 cd's! And tipped us to boot. The staff was all very nice to us and gave Jo a libation for free, and made sure we were taken care of in every way.
We did a short 3rd set and were well received once again. Some RJ, Big Joe Turner, and several other old masters plus some of our own songs. We finished off with Buddy Holly's Not Fade Away and that was a wrap. Lots of folks applauded after songs and the tip jar felt the love as well! It was over seemingly too soon. We had a really nice time and I think we'll be invited back soon.
We got home and got all the gear back in, then it was time for some supper. Prime Rib! The gear can wait to get stowed. We gave it all we had and we're feeling that "good tired" now.
