Surprise Show at The Harmony Bar!

It was the evening before Kat and Leah's wedding. Nearly all of the family members had assembled in Madtown. Kat had been trying to get us a gig Friday, June 2nd so that her family could see her and her band. Finally, the fine folks at the Harmony bar (our "club house") said they would let us play if they didn't have too much softball league business (They normally don't have live music on Fridays during the summer).

We had to wait and see how things went! The plan was to be prepared for a guerilla gig at the Harmony (after the rehearsal dinner).

8pm I'm laying around the house watching Lara Croft Tomb Raider (my she has big...Lips). No call yet but I can see the traffic outside the Harmony bar seems a little heavy.

8:30pm and there's a call from Robin. Things don't look good. Kat just called and said the folks at the Harmony are too busy. But Robin says, "let's wait and see, things could change."

8:50pm and there's a second call from Robin. It's a "GO!"

Scramble, scramble!!! To the Bat cave! We were set up in about half an hour. The wedding party started trickling in, followed by more family, friends, elbow dancers. The evening couldn't have turned out better! We had a blast and we could tell that Kat and Leah's family were enjoying themselves. It was a wonderful atmosphere bathed in love.


"I command you little fingers...Fly! Fly like the wind!"



"Too much beer make me burpy."



"See, little sister. I told you to practice your scales!!"



"I SAID, no flash photography, damn it!"



"When's she gonna shut up so I can rip another killer solo!"



"Kat! Turn around. The audience's the other way!!!"
