A NIGHT AT THE NAVE

Mood:  celebratory
So last night we had a wonderful set at the Nave with Mr. Craig Robertson and his spiffy spectator shoes, and it was a blast! Well, the bits I can remember considering my worried, accidental cough syrup overdose beforehand...but hey, I made it through without one little cough, so...mission accomplished. (Even if I did begin to forget what the mission was.)
It was also one of the first times that Karen busted out the vocals, and she sounded lovely, naturally, uke in hand. Miss Heels enraptured the audience, as usual, with her wailing, warbling saw...and we saw the debut of her new parlor trick: recorder playing! Who knew?
Matt Samolis of Lindi's Radio, and Mike the bassist started off with a wonderful, parsnip-laden set of old-timey tunes. Then my mister, Lucien Desar, took the stage for some stirring, cabaret-style piano and vocals...and if anyone reading this saw him, tell me something: wouldn't he look even more smashing with a handlebar?? A true shame, but I digress...
Finally us Sisters took the stage, launching into a snappy "I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover" before Craig and his uke joined us for a great set.
They seemed to have liked us...and a good-sized crowd at that!
Our next performance will be at Ukulele Noir III, March 29th. See Concerts page for details.
Til then, here's a photo from last night


My advice: take it easy with the Vicks Formula 44D if ever you are obligated to do any activity which requires some amount of focus.
And measure...don't swig!

Excellent gig at the Nave on Saturday, ladies. Most enjoyable. You all get better everytime I see you...and you were pretty frickin' good to begin with. Nice line-up, too. Great to hear Lucien play. The "cat" song was pretty fun. Next time he performs, I'll need to bring Kai to hear the German caberet song. Sorry I'll miss Uke Noir... :(

Thanks for the kind compliments, Jamie!
Uh oh...might not be a good thing to have someone who actually knows German there to know what he's singing!
Though, come to think of it, I'd like to know.

We'll miss you Tuesday, as it's not a proper Sob Sisters show if you aren't there...you are always so kind to be so supportive! There's always another time, though.
