Loose Leaf Notes

I missed The Kind’s 39th anniversary bash Friday night at Parkway Brewing, but in a gestalt move I caught the Grateful Dad’s at the Buffalo Mountain Brewery Saturday Night. Their more official name is T H C and Friends. There are three Wills in the band. I suggested they call the band The Traveling Wills.

The Brewery’s tavern is filled with comfy chairs and couches, so it was a tight fit for us dancers. I call this “the dance hall.”

See what I mean?

Here’s my friend The Other Keith during a guest spot. Listen HERE.  The song variety was good and I especially enjoyed the mash-ups, like That’s What I Like About You with R O C K in the USA.

And look who I, a supporter of local live theater, ran into: Founder of the Floyd Community Theatre Guild Casey Worley! He was in town to visit friends and catch the Lion Witch and Wardrobe production. See HERE.

Jayn, Marcia and I shook it like Sugaree for this number. That’s one of the Wills on vocals. Keith’s guitar is worth the price of admission.

The reason I ended up at the Grateful Dad’s show was because I went to the brewery earlier to hear my friend Will Norton’s set. I had a IPA in hand and a front row seat for Will’s skillfully written and often humorous songs.

HERE he is singing Welcome to Floyd.

It was a musical weekend in general. While some of our friends were dancing to The Kind (a 40 minute drive from Floyd) Friday night, others of us were dancing to Bunco at Dogtown and enjoying every stomp, step, whirl and twirl.

Our friend Sally called the dancers together through an email, and we know if Sally likes the band, it’s going to be good.

It was!
