I first went to the 8pm set at The Stone. I enjoyed Jeremiah’s curation this month, so I wanted to check him out. He plays avant-garde clarinet. I was happy to see that Matt, the guy who used to always volunteer to work the door in the early days was playing. It was good, creative music. I love seeing them play their instruments in completely different ways.

I considered going to Louis 649 for an hour but decided to go home and be with my cat for a bit. The poor guy is left alone an awful lot. Then, I had to run back over to Ave C to catch a little of the Jessica Lurie ensemble at Banjo Jim’s. I really enjoyed it, much more than the first time I saw them a few years ago at Tribeca Rock Club. There were also a few more people last night, like maybe 8-10. It think there were 3 or 4 of us last time at TRC (it was a last minute replacement show). I was only able to stay for about 40 minutes, but it was great. She had a tenor from The Tiptons with her. She was awesome and added a lot. I’m glad they did a great NOLA-style funky song, I mean I felt like I was at Donna’s during that just before I left. I will be trying to hit her 9pm set at Banjo Jim’s on 12/12. Uh oh, I see they changed the time to 10pm. There’s something else sandwiched in between the 8pm and her set. I’ll still try to make it, but it might be a little harder.
