Played out last night at a Salvation Army rehab center.

Being the season that it is, and the fact that most of these guys have
no family to sit around a nice table with, other than themselves: they are the most appreciative audience one could hope for.

It's a zero paying gig moneywise: but honestly, money changing hands would have corrupted the effect of having ministered to these fellas.

It was a real Jesus time, cause that's who He likes to hang around.

Cheers,
R


ps. played a bit of the Irish pipes, low whistle etc
The guys really dig the pipes!

:D

A local underground punk venue, run out of a rented storage space, had a soup kitchen and donated supplies to people. We used to get donated food from a nearby co-op. I frequently volunteered, washing dishes and stuff. THAT's the kind of thing I love about punks.

That sounds like a very nice gig, indeed. Glad you were able to bring some smiles to some faces.

hafta say, of all the things I know/assume/hear about those who call themselves 'punk', serving at soup kitchens isn't top of the list!

Those are my favorite types of gig Rich.
I will admit, I like having the donations to help offset expenses at studio.
But a rockin fellowship is hard to beat. 8)
