Sunday means it was time to return to the Brisbane Jazz Club. This time we saw the "8 Tracks." Instead of the 19 folks on stage that we saw last week, this time it was only 9 in total. Five men playing back up on the sax, guitar, bass, keyboards and drums and four women singing so sweetly. Each one of them got to sing solos that they knocked out of the park. They sang together very well both in back up to the solos and also when they sang together. The song selection was wide ranging, from Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots are Made for Walking" to Stevie Wonder "Higher Ground" to Aretha Franklin and other Motown greats. We had a great time but since my seat was next to the bar I started getting crowded out but the folks who wanted to dance. The dancing was distracting but they also had to talk while dancing which is against the rules of the club. It started with just three people but soon got out of control. So I got up and moved over to the side of the stage where it was much calmer. I explained to the volunteer why I was there and she sat me at a table which was vacant at the time. Maybe the guy at the table was up dancing? A bit later she went to get Leslie and told her that there was room for her too. So we actually got to be together for the second half of the second half of the show.
Waiting for the Kitty Cat at Sydney Station, we heard a live band playing on this excursion boat
We are ready for the band
Folks are filtering in
Our seats are just a few tables closer to the bar
Love the red jackets
Ties that match the jackets...very fancy
Out come the singers
A few Christmas Songs to start out
Decked out in red dresses
With some serious silver boots!
The mother of one of the singers got up and started dancing
I moved to the side to avoid the dance party by the bar
None too soon as it became a mini mosh pit of older dancers
Red Earrings to match
heading back across the river on the Kitty Cat
Sunset is looking nice
With the bridge ion the foreground
Shiny happy people
It has been 2 years and 179 days since we began our Migration
