a description of the amazing and exciting adventures i have here in baltimore--- and other lies.

 
the wedding i played for on saturday was great! i was very afraid that it would be a little, how should we say, touchy-feely? perhaps too disorganized?
but it was not. although the ceremony was a pastiche of different traditions, they fit more smoothly than one would imagine such an aglomeration.
and, the pipes sounded great! and, i got paid good! the reception was very nice as well, with good booze.

however, i was provided with yet another example of exactly how small maryland is as a state: despite the fact that the bride found me on the internet, on one of the bagpipe boards i am on, and despite having never met either bride or groom before, friends of the now-wed couple knew erin, who drove me up there. they used to go to her church, but stopped going to that particular one for some reason or other. how's that for completely out of the blue? i need to move to new york.

but, in the meantime, i will continue to groove with james brown, the hardest working man in show business! there is no way anyone can listen to jimmy b. and not feel funky! even a white boy like me is groovy when i listen to da man! POPCORN!
