Last night Kim and I went to see a show at the Crocodile Cafe. One of Kim’s favorite artists, Erin McKeown, was playing. I’ve seen her before at the Folk Life Festival in New York, but I liked her more this time. Her set was way too short though. She was playing when we got there and only did a few songs. They were good though, just a girl and her guitar. It was way too crowded too. I really don’t like going to see music in bars because most people are there to drink and not listen to the music. There’s always a lot of people talking, smoking, wandering around, and distracting from the music.
The other band was the Waifs and they were fun too. They were kind of country sounding from Australia. The two singers are sisters and look very much alike. They also play guitars and the harmonica, and then there’s the rest of the band playing drums, guitar and base.
After a while we were tired of standing and being around way too many people all jostling for a better spot, so Kim bought Erin McKeown’s new CD and then we took the bus home.
