Hard to say what it was – but there was something tonight that kinda set me off the wrong way, and I never really got into anything. It was the King Muskafa show at Blues on Whyte …most likely the last one too. Anyway, the crowd was great and the dance floor was packed the whole night, so that obviously wasn’t the issue. I made up some sets that didn’t quite flow like I was hoping. I also thought there were way too many ‘mistakes’, although Ceej didn’t seem to think so. I felt cramped on stage more so than usual for that place. We did have an extra horn (Alden …pictured) and Amber’s sis was on stage a bit …but that shouldn’t have been enough to contribute to that. The ’sound’ wasn’t any good …the mon. mixes weren’t right and the overall volume was cranked from the start. The ‘time’ was never really settled for more than a song or two …and I just struggled to get into any rhythm throughout the night. Toward the end there was a bit – but not much. A lot of ‘forms’ were missed too, which doesn’t help.
So yeah – it was a ‘miss’ for me, even though it was probably a ‘hit’ for everyone else.
Why did I take this sideways picture?
