I went to a bar tonight. Been a long time.
I went to see a band. Longer time for that.
On the way home a sobriety checkpoint!
Officer: Where you coming from?
Geoff: A bar… but I don’t drink.
He waved me on.
The reason for my trip to the Main Pub in Machester was Jason Bush. Jason works at FoxCT as part of the production crew. He directs, runs cameras and floor directs. There’s probably more I don’t know or remember.
Jason is also drummer for the Showtown Band. Tonight was their first gig.
The band consists of a drummer, bassist and keyboard player plus a male and female singer. They alternate leads.
I walked in around midnight. They were already playing and did so for another forty minutes. 15-20 people from the station watched along with the bar’s regulars.
The band does Motown. The arrangements replicate the originals as much as possible. They were tight
It was good to see Jason do this, especially because the band’s a hit.
