HUB BUB for Haiti Link
As you may know my wife, Donna, is part of the Hubbub Club Band. One member, Huck, had a great party on Saturday night- to celebrate some kind of earth holiday. The alcohol supply was relatively small, which probably made for better music. Donna and Yana began with some Balkin singing then led several dances in Huck, relatively spacious living room. Then out came the horns and drums. There was momentary pause in the music and Donna says to me, "Get out your guitar and play something." Then the horns started again.
Then Joey and I decided to do our hit duet "Like a Rolling Stone." I wish I had this group singing with us at the concert we played last weekend. Everyone here sings the chorus at the tops of there voices. Then Joey followed with one of his pirate songs and the accordion. Huck got on the piano and played kind of a honky tonk one four five progression and I improvised a series of songs. Since we were still in one four five we sang, La Bamba, Twist and Shout and a few other. People said that they could actually hear me singing over the sousaphone.
Phyllis knows a lot of tunes from various lands. We played about a half dozen duets- from Mexican waltzes to Irish polkas. Phyllis has great energy. I look forward to a time where I have enough time to play in such a duet.
