SOULFUL TRIP REVIEWED:
PANAMA DOES NOT PLAY THE AURA LOUNGE
Murfreesboro, TN January 26 @ 3:22 am --Well, I didn't
achieve my lifelong dream of playing the Aura Lounge in Murfreesboro, last night,
but it's understandable.
Blame
it on a lack of communication. Blame it on the Bossa Nova. Nobody
involved was Wrapped tightly enough to make a difference. I include
myself.
I
booked myself through the owner's putative agent, while my friend
Ryan booked himself through the owner directly.
So I
don't know. The guy who owns the bar was back in Gatlinberg or
someplace for a short while, and no conversations ensued between his
august self and his putative (I love that word, but it just means
“reputed”) agent.
(This
is more than somewhat speculative on my part. It's only a possible
scenario.)
So he
books Ryan. She books me. Nobody notices this until Wednesday
night.
So it
came down at the Wednesday songwriters' thang at 3 Brothers, that
they wuz a conflict. Of dates. Ryan, who has the upper hand (quite
rightly, per musician rule #21), having booked directly says we'll
work something out. Well, he also says he needs the bread. Like,
hello? Who doesn't? I think, but despite the Facebook boring
effortful stuff, I figure, what the hey?, probably ain't my kind of
joint anyway, trust in it and let it go.
The
lord will provide.
Except
that yesterday, Ryan called and said the owner, see?, he still
doesn't have a name to me. He asked him (Ryan) to text him my number
so that he could ring me up. Blame it on a bad intelligence
apparatus or on I don't give a shit, it don't matter.
I
figured if the guy wanted to talk to me he'da given me HIS number so
I could call HIM.
It's
an amazing trip these guys who own bars and these guys who play guitars get on. Always gotta have a
drama. It's like any initial contact has to be like psychological
arm-wrestling....
So of
course I never did hear from the guy (if you know him, tell him I
said Hi) who owns the club.
Tomorrow,
Saturday, Jan 26 \
WMTS, your local, sometimes extreme, sometimes hip college radio
station right here in Mumblesbury, Yay! Is having a benefit at
3Brothers2-nite. Bring a small negotiable donation.
I go on at 8, and I'm
gonna do a whole set. Please
leave your weapons at home.
3
Brothers. On the north or west side of Main Street certainly not the
south or east at least I don't think. They're really bubbas to each
other, too. A nice buncha beers. Best dang sangwidges in town.
Three Brothers...they have the art of hospitality and good food
flows through their life...
It
simply is not hard for you to find 3 Brothers. Get on West Main.
You'll figure it out. Corner of walnut I think
