Last night (3/3/12), I took the first step to some semblance of normalcy since Karen died in November. I began to socialize outside my everyday sphere. I went out to Famous Dave's Blues Club in Mpls. to see some old friends perform a reunion concert. The band was & is
"THE LITTER." I have known, hung out with & followed these guys for 40+ years.
I recently reconnected with a two of the remaining original members (Denny & Zippy). For those unenlightened about the group, go to Wikipedia. In their time, they had the makings of one of the legendary rock bands in the Midwest, with an almost cult like following.
The gig was pretty damn good. Sure, the voices were a little rough due to decades of overindulgence. The instrumentation was sloppy at times, but by nights end, feeding off the crowds' energy & euphoria, they were spot on.
A splendid time was had by all.
It was so nice seeing fans of the band after all these decades. Hello to Marilyn, Kathy, Marge,
Gary, et al.
Kudos to Kenny & the lovely Beth for their continued friendship & the transportation.
A special shout out to the best "gal pal" from high school & beyond, Maureen.
Thank you all for giving me an enjoyable evening & making me feel human once more.
May we all "Rock On" together again.
