  Weddings...

  I’m not sure that I have ever been this excited about summer before. My band played at a friend’s wedding last weekend. Weddings put me in an uncanny place; I really do not know how to feel about them. Being at such a ceremony seems to me as though my quintessence has been poured into a strange sack of corduroys and a collard shirt and then forced to wander through a world of chocolate strawberries and beanie weenies, flowers and bubbles, and somehow I cannot seem leaven the initial awkwardness that is aroused at the unusual combination of these elements. Of course this being the first occasion in which I have assisted in instilling the impetus to dance as opposed to watching passively, the experience differed slightly from attendances in the past.  Playing in a band at a reception has a certain vantage point; no one pays any attention to the band so it really is like viewing the whole shindig through one-way glass. Weird stuff.
