We have a GPS system in the ol’ Weinlander that sometimes leads us astray to not-so-good parts of some cities. Her name is Gwendolyn and she speaks with a British accent. She is highly educated in cartography and vocabulary. But she lacks serious street smarts. Because we rolled into Sacramento and thought we were going to Luigi’s Fun Garden to play a show with Loch Lommand but instead we ended up at a dead end by the railroad tracks. There was not a soul in sight. I gave Gwendolyn a stern warning and she piped up to take a left then a right go straight for a while then u-turn. She is so temperamental. Geez. So…when we finally arrived to Luigi’s Fun Garden or in my mind Luigi’s Pizza Garden we were greeted by our good friends Loch Lommand. It was really exciting to see familiar faces after three weeks on the road. They are great people and fantastic musicians. It’s been a while since I’ve seen them live and they sounded absolutely amazing. I just love their instrumentation and jaw dropping harmonies. Sonically they fit the room perfectly and played to a very appreciative audience. The crowd was one of the best that we played to in a week or so. All age crowds are fun and very attentive because they are not all sloppy drunk and distracted by a two dollars and fifty cent shots of Evan Williams or stepping outside to chain smoke. They sat and stood to take in the music. A dream for a traveling musician. I had fun and hope to be back at Luigi’s soon.
