SHARING THE SHOWS
So I don’t go to enough concerts at land, so I have to hit one at sea. At least that’s what I’ll post on Facebook. And this time my concert companion is my lovely Mom, Carol. “Not a selfie girl,” as she puts it, I chose to include this photo of my Mom, my brother, and myself on the 12th floor deck as we pass Glacier Bay, the main visual highlight of this trip thus far.
Anyway, back to the focus of this blog: the concert. Brother Jeremy felt like resting, so it was just Mom and me for the concert, which really consisted of a lounge with chairs, and a dude named Lace with a guitar in his hand and a synthesizer next to him keeping the beat. The audience consisted of a few drunk folks dancing, and some more of us sitting. Start time was 9:30, Les started at 9:36 after a few minutes of chatting randomly with some folks on the cruise. Hey, this audience doesn’t care too much, they’ve got their booze. He started off with “Take it Easy,” went into “Mustang Sally” (my favorite), “Sweet Home Alabama,” “Evil Ways, and “Fly Like an Eagle” before taking a break. He’s supposed to play until 11, so I’m guessing his repertoire is limited and he has to stall. Hey, the drunker the audience, the less critical they are. I’m fading, and so is Mom. Her words: “he’s not that good.” Mine: “Ehhh, he’s playing to a drunk audience. They don’t care.” It was a good way to spend a half hour, and I got to bond with Mom, who I don’t see that often. So, all in all, worth the walk. And it was another blog posting. And I wasn’t going to enough concerts on land anyway; just had to reiterate that.
