Myrna Loy Center, Helena, MT

Topic: Myrna Loy Center, Helena, MT

The band took the 'south route' to I-15 to Helena, across the Lehi
Pass, the same one Lewis and Clark took in 1804. The views were
stunning! And the road wasn't paved, which added to the drama.

We stopped in Dillon, MT for lunch at a Mexican Restaurant, and the
food, when we did get it, was good.

We got to Helena around 3:30 and were off to the venue by 5pm. The
Myrna Loy Theatre used to be the Helena jail, which is interesting.
Gary Cooper was also from Helena, and there were posters from both of
their movies in the lobby, as well as one of Myrna Loy's dresses.

The show was well attended, and everyone was tired, probably due to
the elevation we've been at for the past few days. It's hard to
adjust to higher elevations when you come from below sea level.

The Kate, Old Saybrook, CT, 2/11/18

We played the Kate on a very wet Sunday night. It was our third appearance there and as always, the audience was great and so were the staff.   We played a fairly well-rounded set list, mainly to listeners, as there isn’t much room at the Kate to dance.  It was a good show, and afterwards we sold and signed CDs.  It’s always great to see our fans. I hope it’s not 4 more years until we play there again!

Rhodes on the Pawtuxet Mardi Gras show, Cranston, RI, 2/10/18

We’ve played the Rhodes on the Pawtuxet Mardi Gras show many times. It’s put on by Church Wentworth, who also produces the Ninigret Park Labor Day Festival. It was the 26th year of the Mardi Gras show, and the place was rocking! We played a rousing dance set, and we were followed by Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas, old friends and great musicians.

Carpenter Center, Long Beach, CA, 9/26/9

Though it was a long day of travel, we had a good show at the Carpenter Center. Iris Dement opened the show and was well received. She played about 45 minutes and we played for about 75. Lots of fans were lined up afterwards for CD signings, and when it was all over and done with, we were just plain exhausted. Next up: Askenaz in Betkeley. [Posted with iBlogger from my iPhone]
