I
couldn't get enough of it. The smiles on everyone's face Saturday night said it all. By
the time me and my new-found mates made it back to the bar, ears buzzing, we were floating
sky-high! Thanks to the hotel for the greatest hits on the jukebox. We all sang along with
the jukebox and patted "Southside Neil" on the back for his performance with the
Jukes.
By the time Sunday rolled around, with the pending storm, there was a much smaller crowd
there for LaBamba and the Hubcaps. Another great performance and I didn't want it to end.
Thanks to Muddy and Jarrett for being flexible and setting up in the bar of the hotel
after the Pony canceled. You guys were great and I look forward to hearing the entire band
next time. By the way, the Talk Town CD is really good -- you were right, Maggie!
Going back home to Annapolis, Maryland via Amtrak was anticlimactic, to say the least.
Lots of stranded travelers who didn't seem very happy. I'm sure they were wondering why I
was smiling amidst canceled trains and hefty delays. I can't stop talking about my
experience at JUKESTOCK, though, so, thanks for listening. I would be happy to contribute
to a memento booklet. Hope to see familiar faces at the Ram's Head, in Annapolis. Any
questions about the venue or the town of Annapolis, let me know.
Here's to the Jukes,
Paul |
