The title is not what it is your thinking, no matter what it is your thinking. It is the name of a play by my student and her husband. Yesterday, Sat was show time. I arrived at the theater @10:00 am and got setup. I was hoping we would have a band rehersal. We did of sorts, but it was on the fly, as in doing a run through of the whole show, just like it was live. It went for the most part well. Afterward we got a very short break, then the stage crew and sound did some more checks and stuff. Still no practice time for the band…

By now it is lunch time, I had to go pickup the lady Z and #2 son from the Bart. After a quick stop at Trader Joe’s for some food, flowers & drinks we were off to the show.

As with any show  people we buzzing around doing stuff. In a few moments it was show time. There was a bridal family member sitting in with us as the band started some opening tunes.

It was a little shaky starting by we got rolling by the 3rd tune like we had been playing together for a long time not just a couple of hours. I kept getting signaled from back stage another some , another song, one more song. Yes, we had to stall for the players. It was ok, we got to warm up and by know we were cooking. Then …show time.

The show was a musical/clown show about how the couple got together and some of their life up to this point. It included meeting their familes who also came out and played with the band. The grooms family played some down home hillbilly kind of stuff, that went over well. The bride’s Mum came out playing bag pipes. The show was full of singing, acrobats, and fun stuff with a lot of good talent.

The only downer to the show was that I did not get any of the band’s stuff recorded.

Oh well. At one point the projector was not working so we had to fill in with a made up Jam. Fun stuff… I love live theater.

The final act was their real wedding, and a dance-in with everyone on the stage and the band played on…

good time… I needed it!

I need to play more often.
