Concert last Saturday was rained out, so nobody went due to absolutely miserable weather. Cold and blowing rain horizontal at 40-50 mph. I'm a little hardcore so I called and checked anyway. Well what do you know, they had to pay the bands anyway so they moved them inside. Instead of outdoors and hundreds and hundreds of people they had room for a maximum of 90 people crammed in like sardines. I wasn't going to miss a chance to see these bands, particularly the headliner, live. Called up two of the people I was supposed to have gone with and they said they'd go if I drove. Sold American, cause I was going barring a flood of biblical proportions. Turned out it was the three of us and 31 other diehards listening to Watermellon Slim and The Workers followed by get this........Canned Heat. Thought I'd died and gone to Blues/Boogie Heaven!!! Got Fito de la Palma to sign all my Canned Heat albums and a copy of his autobiography. Turns out he's been addicted to motorcycles since he was a teenager in Mexico City and his first bike was a '59 Bonneville. Since then he's been a BMW boxer fan. I think he got a kick out of signing vinyl again and played a song for me off one of the albums. Too cool for school!!!!
