Another night at Lydia's has past, and tonight was especially a fun one. It was a Sexually Attracted to Fire night (just like every Monday), and we seemed to have a descent crowd. It is a really fun band to play in, and we have known to get some people up on the dance floor at times. It is also a really good gig because we bring in a guest artist every Monday to play a few sets. Tonight we had a guy from Calgary who I will call "Ant" play for us. And I want to tell you a rather humorous story about the evening.
Anyway, I had never heard of this guy before, and he was pretty awesome when he got on stage. Just him and his guitar, and this beautiful, strong voice. I was totally into it. He played great originals, and some really great cover songs that he made his own. He was also extremley funny, and had a very good vibe onstage. Overall I was very impressed.
And I finally got to meet the guy. He was charming, and actually very beautiful, which I hadn't really realized when he was onstage. I told him I liked the music, and then I had to go play a set with Sexually Attracted to Fire. I played, it was good, and then we finally finished I started to pack up my gear. And he approached me. He said he liked the set, and I told him I wanted to buy a CD, and I did.

He was just so nice. He started asking me how long I had been playing bass and about how I got started in music, and I asked him the same things. The entire time I was talking to him I just couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful he was, and how talented he was. Turns out he is 20, just like me, and piano was both of our first instruments. Then Shawn, the entertainment manager at Lydia's approaches him and gives him his number, and tells him to contact him for a weekend show at Lydia's. "Ant" then turns to me and asks me if I would be willing to play bass for him if he brought down a few musicians from Calgary for a show. He gets my number, and all is really going well and then one of the female bartenders walks up to the table to get some empty glasses.
He then hands her a cd for free, after I just had paid for one, and then tells her to sit down and starts talking to her. I think he was just being friendly, because he was that way with everyone tonight which is very cool, but I found it pretty amusing. But the moral of the story is that boys have such a one-track mind, even when they have just been talking business.
Hope my story made you chuckle!
