The Return of the Tradegy
hi everyone,
last week was a very good week. i was excited because my friends in the band "the American Tradegy," from Shreveport, Louisiana, were playing on Friday at the Varsity in Baton Rouge. I hadn't seen them all since hurricane Katrina, when a few of us migrated to Shreveport to stay at the guitarists Jackie Brock's house. I remembered all the fun we had during those tough times. Jackie was the greatest host and we ended up staying at his house for over two weeks . he never once made it seem like we were intruding or a burden in any way and never ask for anything. still in all we all gave him money, cleaned his house, and tried to stay away as much as possible. we all became really good friends very quickly. The friends that i migrated with were in a band name "Punch People" at the time. Punch and Tradegy often played shows together to fund our unfortunate stay in Shreveport. although we were worried about our homes, we ended up having some of the best times of our lives in this extremely sheltered town. So, long-story-short i was happy to see them.
i called Jackie friday evening to say hi and to let him know that i was coming to the show and before i could get everything out he suggested that i take picture's. of course i said yes and was thrilled to take on the job. i love these guys and i couldn't wait to see them. when i got there it was like old times again. we hugged and laughed, asked the usual questions to catch up and it felt good to be around some people who are pretty freaking cool and who have the same love for music as i do. i truly missed these guys and their show was fucking perfect. as i said it was a good night and it was definitely the medicine that i needed to feel better after Mardi Gras. if you ever get the chance, check out " the American Tradegy," because it's time well spent.
