I thought the week would be concert free, but Jebra forgot about the Dave Bennett concert and that he'd invited our friends to attend with us. So rather than work in the yard, we ventured into downtown Royal Oak for the evening. The concert was good, which is precisely what I'd expect for Dave Bennett. He is one heck of a musician, MusicWiki Detroit says:
A multi-instrument phenomenon, Dave Bennett is a clarinet virtuoso who plays electric guitar, piano, drums and vocalizes. He is the only artist anywhere saluting The Roots of Pop:covering music from the Swing Era to early Rockabilly and Country, to Elvis Presley, the Beatles and more.
Entirely self-taught, Dave began at age 10 on clarinet listening to and quickly playing along with Benny Goodman records. At 12 he was invited by legendary jazz trumpeter Doc Cheatham to the bandstand of New York’s famous Sweet Basil jazz club. By 14 he was out frequently touring around the USA with Michigan’s New Reformation Dixieland Band. Later self-taught instruments were the electric guitar and “boogie-woogie” style piano.
Anyway, yard work is progressing. We'll put out at least a dozen yard waste bags this Thursday. We have worked our way back to the pond but have not yet rounded the corner to the far side. Maybe tonight.
The only other thing of note this week was it was an Ingress First Saturday. We played in Southfield and scored well even though two of our plans were scuttled. First, we planned to go out for breakfast before the event. We pulled into the restaurant I picked only to discover it was closed for remodeling. No matter, we went to the Original Pancake House and had a lovely time and delicious food. Then when it was time to go to Southfield Civic Center we discovered on of the other Ingress players had brought down one of the huge green field we'd counted on getting ourselves. Fortunately for us, she'd only shot down one so there were plenty of points left for us. All in all, we had reasonably high scores on all of the metrics.
