I have a confession. I was getting really nervous a couple of weeks before we played Railroad Blues, mainly because we had to break in a brand new drummer with no experience playing with us at all. It certainly didn't help that we (the band) physically couldn't get together due to inclement weather for almost two weeks. Then finally we got a chance to "ensayar" as Taro puts it. Three "ensayos" later, it was time to unveil the newest incarnation of The Resonators at Railroad Blues. At the drumset was our new pal Fefe, and Huevo on Latin percussion. I guess it's OK to worry about having things ready; the final product definitely was worth it!
Sure hope everyone had a fun time Friday at Railroad Blues. The chemistry on stage couldn't have been better. And the really cool part is that this new lineup is committed to continuing our tradition of keeping the music fresh. We'll have some Mardi Gras fun in store when we play in Marfa on February 17th. Maybe a little New Orleans jazz is in order for far west Texas? Well whatever the case, we're excited to have the chance to play for the good folks in Marfa. More info on that gig real soon.
Thanks again for coming to see us last Friday. The Blues is such a driving force behind a flourishing live music scene out here in the Big Bend, and they appreciate your patronage. Hope to play there again real soon! Take care, everyone.
