CRUISIN'
Last Thursday seemed like it would be your typical Yaku night. Artic was again sponsoring us so the crowd got in a little early for the open bar. I hated the first set because of the sound (Jay was too loud). The saving grace was that the audience rocked.
Cris was there to my surprise (Debbie wasn’t as she was still recovering from a fever). We hung out in between the sets and she watched our second set. Normally during the end of the set, we let people get up on stage and jam with us. This time Norby and I felt the urge to use the bathroom so we left Jay onstage. When we came back there were different people on stage. We tried to wrest control of the stage back and succeeded only after a long while.
During that time there was a request for “Body is a Wonderland” which I had Cris play cajon on. She’s good. She got the timing right and was even doing a few fills. There was a request for “Sweet Child of Mine” and Cris was still playing. Since she could hold her own I decided to get a little adventurous. I asked Norby for his guitar and played rhythm while Jay did lead. That was fun. Even after we unplugged Cris was jamming with Jay. She got to play her “recital” piece, “She Will Be Loved”. I was so proud of her.
Time to go home, or so we thought. We all hopped in to Jay’s car with a few more passengers. Cris was with us sitting in the front seat while to our surprise, Mariel rode with Norby and me in the back seat. Mariel was wasted. Cris was snickering all the time. We brought Cris back to her pad and as I was transferring to the front seat, she was asking Norby to. I think Norby was having too much (innocent) fun and decided to stay in the back.
When we left Cris’ place we got a call from Miguel and Tom. The two were drunk and wandering around the Yaku area aimlessly. Being the nice guys we are, we picked them up and took all three to Rufo’s. We sobered them up and brought them home.
I so think Mariel digs Norby (I hope Angel doesn’t read my blog). He denies it of course. Well let’s see what happens next Thursday.
