Saturday was a busy day. I rode my bike out in the morning to the Avon Breast Cancer walk to support Teri and Alex. Of course when I went to meet up with them they were on the absolute far side of the course way up in Maryland. I had to get back to meet my brother for the concert that night so I didn't have much time but rode up to find them anyway. The Avon walk was an interesting event. Lots of walkers and volunteers all decked out and supporting each other. The guy on the Harley with pink Converse shoes jamin' out to the Village People was most entertaining. They walked 26 miles that day and 13 the next.
Scott picked up me up for the Preservation Jazz Hall Band and My Morning Jacket concert that afternoon and we headed over to Robert's. We had drinks and burgers from the grill. When we got to Merriweather the lot was still pretty empty. We had the best seats in the small general admission area right in front of the stage. The PJHB threw down. The tuba player had a sweet fro. The clarenet player was old and rocked out. The drummer was from the 9th Ward. They had four horn players, a bass, piano, and drummer. They finished with the guy from My Morning Jacket. It was a fun opening set.
My Morning Jacket played one big entertaining set. They jammed out pretty well but it was more of a group thing rather than much individual effort. Nothing wrong with that I'm just used to a solo on occasion.
It was a long ride home after a long day.
