[Harp-L] fun

["Jim Alciere" <jim.alciere@xxxxxxxxx>]

Had a blast last night. The Space Animals played at a birthday party.
Outdoors. Food. 2 kegs. I was a little nervous because the band before us
was very good. Professional. We had two drummer so Tommy decided to play
congas. A friend of a friend had his bass and he wanted to sit in. Then
crazy Richard showed up with his timbales and cowbells. And we want to play
some Dead before we get to the original stuff right? We do? Cool, I guess.
None of these guys know the songs but it's only rock and roll right? Well
let me tell you what a joy it is to play with top notch musicians. It was
divine. Just magic. The band stopping and starting on a dime, slowing down,
speeding up, getting quiet building up to a crescendo. Very cool to hear a
timbale solo in the middle of a blues rock rave up.  We did all sorts of
extended jams so I could just make up this poetry to recite about poodles
and goddess, and aliens and stuff. And of course we're outside on a
beautiful fall evening with pretty young ladies dancing and little kids and
dogs running around. It's a huge compliment that musicians of that caliber
would want to play with us.
