A Real Swamp Band
A few years back on a camping trip, we were taking a hike up a really steep trail in Big Sur. There was a small group of us that fell behind and was about to give up until Ryan decided to start a pretend Swamp Band. We all chose instruments as we hiked up the trail and repeated the mantra “Swamp Band plays in the swamp”. It got us up the mountain and we had a good chuckle.
Well, last night, I went to a special work dinner held by our managers and they had a real swamp band playing for us!!! I’m sure that’s not what they call themselves but my manager’s daughter plays the violin and she’s part of a band that plays in various clubs.
They were complete with a girl on spoons and a guy playing a tub bass guitar made of a wash tub, broomstick, and rope. It was awesome. They played rather well and I couldn’t help smiling the whole time.
Here are photos from the evening.
