"I thought we made this abundantly clear. We were only blessing the rains down in Africa. We were not in favor of rains soaking stages in Richmond tonight" - Walter Ego
Our fourth appearance at Massey On The River was, in many ways, the best. The Massey Alliance raised over $60,000, eclipsing last year's record-breaking sum. We were joined on stage by our jangle-pop-playing friends from Party of Four. Our sound engineer, AC Fader, was the hero of the night--playing the role of crisis electrician. (It turns out that water and electricity don't go well together.) We played beyond our allotted time, and Topper learned what it was like to play without his trusty stage fan when circuits had to be re-routed. 'The show must go on' became our mantra, and when the last wet road case was opened to dry in the studio at the end of the night, we could look back at a night of achievement--challenges met, cancers bested, and obstacles overcome. What makes a band? Is it playing your hearts out and staring electrocution in the face, whatever the cost?
Sure, that and a bunch of soft rock cover tunes...
Thanks to all who braved the weather for a great cause! All photo credits to Sam Allen.
