The last show after that was flensburg, right on the border
of germany and denmark. Maybe a 5 hour train
ride. Maybe a bit more and had an hour stop over in hamburg. I did some speed
shopping then, finding a camera I had been looking for since japan, and cheaper there in germany.
200 euros.
At the flensburg show, I also get
there late and right on time. Thøger has come down to
jam this night. We play splendidly together. Maybe the best show ever. It si
so great having someone to play off of. And his upright bass playing is
always more propelling for me then joey’s used to be.
It is a buoyant evening of sonics. We are in a modern
church. It is acoustically perfect. And
has a stunning old Steinway piano. The pa system is
the smallest on the entire tour with no monitors and we have to run it
ourselves. But it sounds way way better then any other system I have ever played
through. We play a long time, not wanting the tour to be over, and having
more and more energy from playing with thøger. We
even take a break and come back and play some more. The minister had even
managed to include a bottle of my favorite scotch on
the rider, the balie nicol jarvie. We end it by me playing a recorded track from the
upcoming gospel choir cd and me and thøger palying along.
After the show, there were actually a few folks there form hamburg who were at that show
there. And this is the confusing part. One of the fellows also told me there
that the hamburg show was amazingly bad, but he still
wasinspired (?) enough to drive the 3 hours to come
up to flensburg to see another show.
I still don’t understand what they heard that night exactly.
The next morning, it was a lovely rain. The ups man walked in and handed me my
black lizard jacket from tino’s shop.
It fit perfectly. Thøger and I headed up to aarhus then. Coincendentaly, tonight will
be marie franks’s premier Århus show representing her new cd
release entitled:
“where the wind turns the skin to leather”.
