Who Are These Bands??????
Ok, this will take a fair amount of explaining, hope you have had your coffee.
Gigs this week, Paul and I are both gigging and playing and will rock the Irish in you souls, but not together. This week anyway.
Tonight, Paul is sitting in for John " Big Sexy " Sjogren with John's band Bedlam, at Merlin's Rest. John is in Scotland with Adam, from his other band, the Tim Malloys. Paul will be playing with Mark Sterling and Paul Reggee. I used to be in Bedlam myself.
Still with me? Have some more coffee....
This weekend St Domminics Trio was meant to play at Charlie's, but they have studio time booked ( Yea! ) so the Mighty Fitz asked Paul and Lorraine to take the gig, except Paul is going to his cabin with his kids. So I went and found ANOTHER Paul to play with me, yes, the same Paul that our Paul is playing with tonight. So it will not be St Domminics Trio at Charlie's, and it will be Paul and Lorraine it just won't be the SAME Paul and Lorraine the one generally sees. The part of Paul will be played by, uh, Paul.
Better add some Whisky to that coffee, it will all start to make sense soon.
Last weekend at Charlie's was more fun than a new kitten ( which I know something about, just having aquired a little Bengal Kitty ) Three anniversary couples on Friday night, 11 years, 35 years and 50 years. ( I had thought perhaps I had teased one gentleman a little too much, and was very glad to get a note from him yesterday saying how very much fun they had had...)Paul's parents showed up too. Saturday was looking kind of dissapointing until midway thru second set when the place filled up and we never stopped! Some of our favourite people showed up, and I don't think we even took a break for more than a moment. Nice jazz hands people!!!
The best moment was a couple that really really liked what we were doing, and explained afterwards they thought " Paul and Lorraine" was a commpletely different band they had seen there one night and had NOT liked, so as we play there every other weekend, they were carefullly avoiding the pub those weekends!!!! Changed that we did, hope to see them more often now!
( also, I promise never to end a night with Freebird ever again. Unless we get a LOT of cash )
So, I don't have any idea what is going to happen with the alternate Paul and Lorraine this weekend ( I am sure our Paul is saying the same thing abut his gig tonight ) but I do know one thing....
We're going to have us some fun. Join us? It wouldn't be a party without you!
Love and Irish,
Lorraine

It boggles the mind. Truly, my head spins!
Good on you for winning back that couple. ^_^
Pass the aspirin...
:)
And we both have day jobs too... go figure!
I just got my kids back-to-school stuff today so that it wouldn't be the typical last week of August scavanger hunt. Talk about needing aspirin..
It's going to be a blast tonight!
Nice job on the explanation Lorraine. I only had to read it twice to figure out what I was supposed to be doing. ;)
Go and rok tonight, and let us know how it goes, you Rock God You!!!!!
Be nice to Elizabeth, she spent all day in my basement moving things from place to place ( I asked her to do this, it wasn't an accident...) I can't believe she has the energy to go out! I am all about my COUCH and hot tub!!!!
You know, I wrote that post and I am not at all sure what I am supposed to be doing. I know I a not a Paul tho.
( perhaps Apaulled??? I slay myself! )
Pauls says that the show last night was fun, but that it's hard to play with a band not yr own, which is true, you spend much more time trying to figure things out and fit in than concentrating on entertaining.
Still, I am , warily, looking forward to tomorrow night.
Wish me luck!!!!
Wow! A new identity! LaM, who knew????
( LaM is Lorraine a' Malena , my band with Malena Teves. You can see more , if you don't know us, at www.lorraineamalena.com )
As if the post wasn't confusing enough, now you are sprouting a new id ?
:)
Lorraine, a day in the basement there is so much easier than a day at the store! (I especially enjoyed the part where you told me to just walk away from the chaos in the furnace room.)
And I was greatly revived by the music Tuesday night, even did a little dancing.
I am looking forward to hearing you and Pablo this weekend, Saturday for sure. Maybe tonight, too, if I can face the drive after closing at the store.
Yes, I new identity, thanks to Malena. Kind of like it I do.
Weeellll..Tonight. Very interesting. I was so glad for the folks who came down to support us and listen, you made my night. I think the music was good, Paul Reggee is a great player and we knew a lot of the same songs, tho not in the same keys or the same way.
Songs were FAST tonight!!!!! I am beyond beat, but I had a great time. Hard tho, keeps one on ones toes, playing on the fly like that.
It was funny, with the confusion of my bandmate and stand in both being named " Paul " the most comon comment was " Wow, yr bandmate grew his hair and beard!!! "
Hee-hee.....
It's now Saturday night, post gig. Thank you Paul Regge from Bedlam for playing with me this weekend, it was great to see you again and to play with you.
The bar was pretty drunk tonight and not all that interested in music, except as background. Hard that. Lots of severe storms came thru too. Paul reminded me tho that what was important was that we were hanging out together, and playing some fine music, and none of the rest of it mattered.
I needed to hear that.
Stupid thunderstorms! I was all set to head your way Saturday night, and then heard the words "Stillwater" and "one-inch hail" in the same sentence. Repeatedly. The aunt-mobile must not be deliberately driven into peril . . .
Sorry I missed the music (but not the drunks)!
