thanks to Valjean615 i went to long island, port washington last night to see Patty Larkin play in this little theater. We went to dinner with Gene Frey who is one of my favorite people. I just never seem to see Gene enough. I hate it when i see him to say hello and have to be somewhere or in my seat.
Dinner was at a mediterranean style fish place. Warm Bread with hummus on every table, greek salad or a romaine and feta in a lemon dressing. the side dishes were broccoli and carrots steamed and the side was rice pilaf or wheat bulgar( that was to die for) i had the grilled salmon and ate the skadolia( potato and garlic) scoop at appeared on my plate.
it was out of this world. I eat salmon all the time but it was great to have someone else cook it and for it to be cooked well not overcooked like i like it. Grilled salmon rocks..
we entered the hall with minutes to spare and took our seats. we sat infront of two ladies..a woman in her 60s and her 80 something mother.. they had no problem saying things like" is that Patty larkin, it doesnt loook like patty larkin, last time i saw patty larkin she sounded better, looked better, i liked that other song better"
i whispered to Chris that they were like the old men in balcony on the muppets.
they also commented on the other patrons and had to question why a couple brought their kids
They left during the fourth PL song..
they were replaced by our neighbors to the left where the man of the couple went out for food during intermission. All we smelled was grilled chicken as they proceeded to eat their dinner in the seats that hte old women abandoned...
the chicken smell and rustling of papergoods was as disruptive as the old ladies
it really made for a disconnected and disrupted show
vicki genfan opened
why is that some folkies sing covers and interpret them and end up sounding like a saturday night live skit.. well Vicki Genfan hit the skit.. with Norweigan Wood and Joy to the World last night
Cris Williamson is a satruday night live skit but that is another blogger entry..the day i had to crack up when i saw cris williamson, g-ddess to the ladies music world, parody to me..
back to Patty Larkin the guitar genius...
