this past weekend, my wife dragged me to Eureka CA for their annual Redwood music festival. i was skeptical. especially after i saw the "last hotel room available" in the city. whoa! it was okay and cheap..and we were never there anyways. ..we parked the car there and bailed on foot for two days.the music was mostly jazz..big band jazz stuff. the music went on and on
it was crazy just going from venue to venue watching bands you know ZERO about. there was some insane tromboning going on..i played the cursed thing and didnt know it could do that! at least not with me.
what we did see was a Johnny Cash tribute. the dude was GOOD! he didnt act like him..he did wear all black and sang like him. maybe better? we found the same guys in a hotel bar just jamming..doing killer rockabilly stuff.
my wife did recently drag me kicking and screaming to an ABBA tribute band..i am no ABBA expert, but if you lied to me and told me they WERE abba..i would have believed you..they mimicked the band perfectly..from what i remembered. (my dad RIP, loved ABBA - i was a tiny kid and was not allowed to touch the 8-track or kick it dead
)
