Mumbles was a really good show last night. I enjoyed it immensely!
The name seems odd at first, but taking into account that half their audience can not hear above 8K, it makes a little more sense for a band name of this old dance jazz genre.
We sat for the very end, early end with elders in mind, worried about the approaching rain the whole time, but I had my pancho and hat, Texas boy style. Daughter was similarly geared. Like my mama showed me. Ah ain't no dummy!
The front folks, one guy, one gal had a few highlights, but there was a lot of just plain old intrumental jazz moments and the front liners walked around flirting with the crowd and hitting a maracca or a tamborine with a drumstick.
It was wonderful show.
Just as the show ended the state baseball finals finished as well and a fireworks show began about three miles away. We sat for some of that, too, but it just seemed to go on forever and I made it back to the car with fireworks blasting and an occassional lightning burst hitting close enough to the fireworks to light up the smoke.
It was beautiful!
It was just my daughter and I (now realize, she prefers Skillet or hard rock, but time with Dad seems to be more important to her now than when she was in high school and we attended so many hard rock concerts. Me being her best date) and we had a great time!!
Got home and the fireworks were still going. We sat and watched until the rainstorm hit.
Turned out to be a night I will always fondly remember.
