Quaint ramblings and occasional reflections of a journeying Aussie musician...

The Groove

S has been with us in town for most of the week, and contrary to my earlier blog, has been in remarkably good spirits considering...is it the joy of being off the road and playing a show in the one place for more than a day? Is it the strange relief of the passing of a long-suffering family member? Is it just plain enjoyment of the gig? Customary to our surroundings, S is a pretty reserved character at the best of times, so I guess we'll never really know...
...and in the last couple of days playing with D, our co-number one dep on drums, the groove has been fatter than anything! It's incredible how, especially on a two-show day like today (matinee 4pm, evening show 8pm), when you're playing a show centred on groove-based music and the groove is great, everything is great!, everyone's in a good mood, the sun shines...well, it feels like it anyway...
