Queers Tour Day 3
This morning we drove to West Palm Beach, FL. On the way we stopped at Golden Corral where I ate pretty decently considering it’s a buffet full of temptation… lots of veggies, salad, etc… until the dessert bar ruined everything and made me sick. The Second Saturday boys have a saying “So sick, so happy” which applies to that exact situation. You eat yourself stupid and you’re totally sick, but really happy about all the yummy food. Fortunately we got to the next hotel very early so I had a nice cat nap and watched some of the Beatles Anthology. When we finally went to the venue, Respectable Street, I ran through the set again on keys and guitar.
Midway through the show, Joe wrote up a new setlist which wasn’t a problem because it was actually shortened a bit and consisted of all the songs I had practiced except for two. I quickly learned the two songs and wrote down the chord changes the new set so I could cheat if need be. They actually went pretty well, but right before the encore he decided to add another song! He told me the chords before getting back on stage and I just went with it. Nothing like learning a song on stage haha. I’m pretty good at following chord progressions or at least faking it so I made it through just fine. The show went really well over all and the crowd was super into it. I even signed some autographs afterwards which was surprising to me since I’m just an adjunct member. It made my night though!
