Riverside Zydeco

I met Ken and Sherri at Fairmount Park this evening for the Wednesday concert. The band was Porterhouse Bob and Down To The Bone. They were billed as a blues band but they were mostly Zydeco. And they were good. I love that stuff. Cousin Steve showed up a little later with his Aussie dog, Buddy. Buddy's a cute pup but he's a little hyper.

They film these concerts and show them on Riverside's local station (channel 33?). No one was dancing and the way they have the stage set up there's a vast expanse of concrete between the performers and the audience sitting on the grass. I really wanted to get a closer look but I wasn't interested in having my backside show up on the tee-vee. Oh what the hell, I'm going up there.

I guess all people needed was for me to break the ice because after I went up so did a bunch of other people, including Steve and Buddy. I chatted with Steve for a little bit and then felt something poke me in the butt. It was Buddy's nose. AAARRGH!!! That freakin' dog nosed me right in front of the tv cameras!!!!

I should have turned around and done some kind of ta-da move but I didn't think of it. It's unnerving getting nosed in public. Sheesh. Oh well, the band was great and we had a good time.

It's a lovely night. I heading to the porch.
