Backyard Concert


One of the groups I play with, The Quavers, had a show booked at Barbes on a hot and humid Sunday evening. Unfortunately, it seems the club had double booked and we were on the outs. Luckily, Todd's backyard was open - so we quickly did some cleaning and decorating while inviting our fans to make the short trip.

To get to the backyard is no small feat. Up the stoop, around a corner, down a narrow staircase to the basement, through a very narrow hallway that leads to an incredibly uneven staircase up to the backyard. Even though this journey was tough with the vibraphonette, the trip would have been much, much more difficult with a full sized vibraphone.
