Saturday 6 April
Friday night’s gig was cancelled so we had a well earned
rest at the hotel yesterday.
Left New Jersey today and headed North until we reached Great
Barrington, a tiny town on the border of New York State and Massachusetts.
There were only a few streets but very picture postcard, like the
sort of place you go to retire.
Once again, we had the pleasure of supporting the Pushstars.
The bar that we played at was called the Helsinki. A warm and
cozy place with a wonderful restaurant (where we sampled the menu
for free!!). Not the sort of place to turn the amps up and rock
out, so we decided to sit on stools and do an acoustic set, which
we later found was the perfect choice.
The crowd loved our performance and for our finale, we all jumped
onto the bar, me with the acoustic, and performed a killer version
of Big Star’s ‘The Ballad of El Goodo’ to a hushed
crowd.
