Caught the Kansas City Bass Quartet at Jardine's last Sunday. For the record, they are bassists Bob Bowman, Gerald Spaits, James Albright and Craig Akin. Four upright basses (a.k.a., bull fiddles, doghouses, etc.) two hours of music, three beers. The performance was exactly the elephant freak show I had hoped for. (In case you're curious, the quartet played the Friday before on KCUR's Up to Date. And if you are curious, you are curious indeed.)The KCBQ was recording the show, which must explain the tent cards at each table. A nice gesture, although not to everyone's liking as the photo above demonstrates.
It reminded me of a recent post (of mine) about a loud drunk woman at this same venue. I don't think it would've helped much. The challenge, as always, is getting people to read. Just ask anyone who owns a newspaper.
