I’m playing a jazz set at my good friends’ wedding. It’s a dry wedding and no one is paying attention to us except the other musicians there. Which almost makes me more nervous than if random non-musicians are watching.
The ladies, girlfriends of the drummer and I, are carrying flasks in their purses, and they’re having a good time together. Upon reaching the non-alcoholic drink bar their reaction was perfection: “Oh look, Mixers!”.
A good vibe floated throughout the Monday Club. The ceremony was perfect. Short and sweet, and the choice selection of songs to walk to, Nuages by Django and Something by the Beatles. Great food, good people.
The Damon Castillo band performed and the groom lit up a drum solo like I’ve never heard,he really cut loose, and looked damn good doing it in a tux!
I wish Jennings and Holly Jacobsen the best!
