in the mac and cheese factory
just walking down siskiyou, stopped to play for these two college students on their front porch. on their nice front porch. how do those kids afford those cool old houses. they ain't cheap, nothing here in ashland is, except for open mikes, which are free, if the music don't drive you to drink.
tease twice a month holds a micless open mic, and last night was astounding. this kid hammed up a song about the mac and cheese factory, and another called take your high holy mantra and stick it up your chakra that had the two pretty young women who'd been giggling over their cell phones hooting and spilling their drinks, while the launguage had granpa covering granma's ears. like a box of chocolates...
host gene burnett played a song about why he doesn't have a cell phone, but the pretty girls didn't get the joke. George and elizabeth, the Sonny and Cher of Bob Dylan tribute players, cooked through a sizzingly scripted, flouncily performed it aint you babe that had us realizing this was indeed a special night, that these folks here in Ashland have Talent.
that led to a slew of originally rearranged bob dylan songs, and t-po reciting robert service just to keep up with the bobs. clayton, who plays with his band at culture works on thursday before he goes back to cracking the scene in la, played some absolutely beautiful stuff-hard to believe we used to jam in the bakery friday nights back when he was just a teen.
anyone who plays in the streets can sign up play inside on open mic night. some of these folks go on to play not just inside, but onstage, with Real microphones! good for them. me? i'm a little claustrophobic.
