Triggers and Slips

A friend of Josh's that he used to play baseball with in high school and college (Morgan Snow) started a band a while ago called Triggers and Slips. So, last night I meet up with a couple of college buddies (Marianne and Eric) for dinner and then we went to hear him play. The band is sort of twangy old country meets old time rock with a bit of jazz and blues. I guess just a bit of everything. He plays the guitar, harmonica and is the lead singer. He also has a fiddler who has played with the late great Chris LeDoux. It was so awesome! The place were he played his "gig" was called Burt's Tiki Lounge. It has to be the smelliest, yuckiest, scariest, dive of a bar ever. Although I've never been in a bar type atmosphere before, Marianne and Eric have and they weren't so sure of the place either. Marianne's dad warned her about this place and told us all to use the buddy system. I mean, I wore my usual everyday clothes and I felt a bit dressed up there. It was like the place you picture in your head when you hear people say "I was discovered in an old run down bar"......only worse!! It was so weird, yet fun, to see Morgan up on stage like that. I never ever in a million years would have guessed that that is what he would be doing in his spare time. Not only playing two instruments at the same time and being the lead singer, but being really, really good at it!! Who knew Mo Snow had it in him?! It was so great to see them after all these years. It really made me miss everyone else from those days. Except, what I was thinking not coming home until 1:30 in the morning? I guess I was thinking that I was back at Snow where that was the norm for us.
Anyway, if you ever happen to hear Triggers and Slips on the radio one day CRANK IT UP!!
