Today me and the guys in Steel Parade are performing for seniors in Los Angeles California. We've performed for this group of seniors several times before. Every other season it seems, for the last 8 years, we've performed here... wow
Last time I performed at a senior center, it got a little rough. I'm sure this time will be more mellow.
My Plan in the form of a non-plagiarized poem...
Wake and bake to Sh!t, shower and shave.
Prep gear/equipment and be ready for carpool.
Eat a chocolate buttermilk donut dipped in black coffee for the will to unload equipment.
Perform for Bixby Tower residents. Then do as they do and take a nap.
Food? Wake and bake with coffee to go.
Leave early to practice pinball before the tournament starts.
Win Pinball Tournament...
Scroll down to avoid bad poems.
Bass For Steel Parade at The Bixby Towers

Get on the Sandy Bus and let's carpool to a donut or two!

Yum! Take them all let's go!
We are here!

Let's set up.

Steel Parade's ensemble features Steel Pan, Drum Set, Bass, and Vocals. Today we have a percussion player with us. He brought a Djembe and a Pandero. The Djembe is a hand drum from Africa. The Pandero is slightly similar to a tambourine and it's from Brazil.

You know me, that guy who posted upside down steel drum images first. This is probably an Steem anniversary...
Anyway, that is @steelparade’s Steel Pan. He lays it on the ground like that just before we go into play.
Obviously, we wouldn't want to have our cases/equipment bags with us while we are performing. That would be FUGLY! So, we put our stuff away and then he lays it on the ground for a final moment to prepare for the performance.
Next: Part 2, I enter a third pinball tournament!
