word up you crazy cats!! how's it goin'...?!? all good i hope...
hit the stage not just once, but twice, on sunday... and here-in lies the tale of the first outing...
si!! the day's musical adventure kicked off with an appearance at the 3rd Annual Charter Festival, my second as i played last year, and jolly good fun it was too...
inclement conditions meant that the event had been moved inside, but precipitation aside, everyone was still up for a party - which is the way i like it...
opened with the one about the chicken, before ducking into the one with the dance moves and the one where-in i get to pretend to be a trumpet... happy time
dropped a slice of the kinks, in the vague hope that it may bring the sun out... which it didn't...
but such was the cosmic force created by the "positive sun thoughts" inside, that we may or may not have brought a new civilisation into being... one which nestled underneath a flashing sun (which someone rather disparagingly described as a pedestrian crossing - i know who you are!!)...
the only thing the civilisation is lacking, is a name... (answers on a postcard please)
there was also a rare outing for 'mailman'... i'm not sure when/why/how, but despite the fact that i enjoy playing it, this one appears to have dropped into the "tunes less played" pile, which is something i need to work on...
newbie 'modern condition' was also well received, its slightly slower than the rest of the set, but does seem to be going down quite well... when coupled with mailman, it makes like a 'reflections on modernity' suite... that'll be that zeitgeist getting a shake again...
all-in, a really good evening of music... but then its the charter, and that's the way the roll...
looking forward to playing at the 4th incarnation of the festival too!!
happy time!! 8)
