I was having a meeting yesterday with T Dogg http://www.guitarskauai.com/ and we were discussing places to stay on the road......Seattle in particular...and I remembered the piano in the living room of the house we rented and joyfully inhabited on a 3 day stay around a gig at Town Hall. The 'we' , in this case, was myself http://www.myspace.com/slackkeylady, Shawn Livingston Mosely http://www.shawnlivingston.com/, his fiance Heather, and Stephen Inglis.http://www.stepheninglis.com/The home was fairly secluded so we (Shawn is classically trained and Steve and I both play) could play the thing into the wee hours.....which we took advantage of! We took turns during the day....playing for awhile, then then someone else would take over. We rehearsed for our show promoting the "Na Po Makaole " CD by S &S (not the saimin but Shawn and Steve) then, the night after the show, must've been like 1AM, after shooting pool, drinking beer, and being entertained by an amazing magician that flew a card with our signatures out of the deck and onto the ceiling of the Knarr Shipwreck lounge...where it remains to this day......we started in with the piano - in the living room- of our magic bungalow. We started making stuff up...very 1AM post Knarr-bar-witty-as-diddy stuff...none of which I can remember now except for a line Steve came up with about a disgruntled man "living a Kirkland Signature life with my Kirkland Signature wife"........we were rolling. God it was funny.
I have a piano in my living room BUT, I can't play it after 10 and the f-ing F string is broken....which irks me no end...day or night.....but ohhhhh. that Kirkland Signature night....in WA....with the piano in the living room.
I am looking forward to reuniting with Steve this Sunday at the Slack Key Guitar Festival - Kauai Style......and jamming with the 'Kirkland Signature' guy. Congratulations are in order in that he and his wife, Christa, will be having to consider buying critical masses of 'Kirkland Signature' diapers soon.
