Rock at the Library

Anyone who came to the library show this Wed. already knows, but we were bummed that SAH had to cancel the first half of their tour. They had some vehicle problems at the very top of MI where they live. So we decided to play anyway, a two band show, why not? With all the music coming to Peterboro this weekend during The Thing, the short show was a nice warm up!
Calumet-Hecla deserves credit for overcoming the extraordinary obstacle of their missing guitar player (they managed to get in touch w/ him later and he was alright) by going on w/o him, just drums and bass. The show must go on and I must say, I discovered some wicked rhythms between them that I hadn't picked up on before. It was a vicious set. Randy took the floor and joined them on guitar for their last song. He had not practiced the song, nor was he even familiar with it, but the improvisation added to the musical fire and was a lot of fun to watch.
It's been a busy week for everyone, but thnx to all who made it out. The library is such a fun place for shows, too bad the room sounds like poop! We were thinking of ways to improve the acoustics with some architectural modifications. I want to build a
drop ceiling out of triple expanding foam. Other ideas anyone?
