smokingbootMusic for me is at its best when it engulfs me, like swimming underwater. I want to feel it in the air above me, around me, underneath me, I want to be in it, so last night's Willie and the Bandits gig was perfect. Of course, there aren't enough people back on the streets of Glasgow yet, the room was far from full. But the city's waking up. Folk are using masks now and then rather than all the time, social distancing is non-existent. After two jabs and a booster, they want to get back to normal, for a given value of normal. Covid cases are going up, but fatalities do not seem to be following them. For good or ill, the people will dance.
We drank rum, we listened, it was great, particularly the first three songs. Their support was a man whose name was on his drum kit, but I couldn't quite make it out. I think it was this guy: https://www.mikerossmusic.co.uk/ Listening to him, I could hear his skill, the art of what he does, and wondered what it is within the lone performer that makes him drive from Nottingham to Glasgow for a half empty room. Maybe it's just the doing of it, but there must be other gigs up here to pay his way, I hope.
I enjoyed him at the time but don't remember any specifics. But then I don't recall details of the music that overwhelmed me so deliciously either. There was a seriously excellent kebab house opposite the venue, and I had just enough rum to relish without feeling bad this morning, but the tunes didn't stay with me, and I won't recognise them until I hear them again.
No pain either, but then I took all my medication early yesterday, plus two painkillers and I wore trainers with heals so the tendon wouldn't be stretched. Seems to have worked, bit of a sting today but nothing like yesterday morning.
And there's stuff, so much stuff, that needs doing. But I'm not going to think about any of it. I'm going to laze around and let what's left of the night's relaxation fade away ever so slowly. Yes, I know and I care about the world's mess and what I can do I will try to do. But last night was great,today's looking fine, and in this moment, that's enough.
