Hello all my fine Friends!
I am still REELing from the two nights of shows with Lojo. Thank you SO much for everyone who came down! Oh, we did have some fun! Full on improv both nights. Magic or a train wreck at every moment, fine line, but either seemed to work for both us and everyone there.
I do love playing shows with her. She is a lot like Paul in many ways. ( ok, so Paul is 6′2 and a guy and she is 5′4 and a girl , but hey ) She has the same sort of humour as Paul and I get going, and a willingness to go way to far out on the ledge, and then JUMP, not knowing what the heck is going to happen. I haven’t laughed so much in yonks.
Paul was greatly missed and we had much fun calling him Saturday night. And then he would send texts , which I would read ” another text from Paul at the Score Family Reunion,” I would say. I one point I passed around the cell and everyone in the place got to chat with him.
I loved playing with Lojo, always do, but I am really looking forward to getting back together with Paul next weekend at Kips. There is something comforting about mostly knowing what you are doing on stage, song-wise. ( tho I do like the” hmmm, I know this song, and I also know it is not going to sound ANYTHING like how I know it, or what key it is in” feeling I get with Lojo. )
It should be a fun show, as Paul has been off for a couple weeks and is ready to play, and I am feeling pretty wild and brave after this weekend. Kips is the Pub tho with all the TV’s, three of which face the band and no one else can see. I get kind of lost sometimes.
( most bars have sports, but Kips does one TV of Weather Channel, one of weird documentary with subtitles, and one of sports. Paul has to kick me a lot which means ” HOW many times are you going to play thru this tune..” )
One funny thing, people laugh a lot at our Name ” Paul and Lorraine ” and ask us if we couldn’t come up with SOMETHING at least, but twice last night people asked me where so and so were playing, and both times no one knew the band name! Some weird, Gaelic I think, or what was it again, I would say……..
But no matter how many pints you have, you will wake up in the morning going, ” what was that band again…Paul and Lorraine! “
