Monday Night is the New Saturday
Are there any Campy fans from NYC out there? If so, have you made it The Living Room lately? I am fortunate to live pretty close to the venue and have had the opportunity to witness the Electric Trio perform live on numerous occasions. After last night’s amazing performance, I feel compelled to tell all of my fellow New Yorkers and fellow Campilongo fans that the Monday night shows just keep getting more and more mind blowing. Jim and the Electric Trio consistently pull off beautifully crafted and expertly executed performances week after week. For those of you who have seen the trio live, I am sure you know what I am talking about. The Youtube clips, while certainly fun to watch, do not remotely do justice to capturing the live energy of the band. Last night’s show my friends, was one for the ages! From the familiar and always impressive opening riff of Monkey in a Movie, to the beautiful jangle of Prettiest Girl in New York, to the bone crushing versions of Helen Keller and Finger Puppet, to an unparalleled cover of Jim Hall’s Careful, to the sublime The Past is Looking Brighter & Brighter, to the always haunting Blues for Roy, and an extra slinky sounding Mr. & Mrs. Mouse complete with an unearthly bass solo courtesy of Mr. Crump, to the debut of From Scratch and (Look at the Freak? Not sure if I got the title right), to the most Rock n Roll versions of Twister and American Hips that you could possibly imagine, to the rollicking Red Light Green Light closer, the entire evening was a music lover’s dream. And to make the night even more of a success I met a fellow Lesson by Mail fan who was visiting with his wife from Canada. Prior to the show we discussed our most recent lessons and shared a few lesson recommendations. I never thought that I would say this, but Monday Night is my new Saturday! Thanks again to Jim and the Trio for kicking the week off with a bang! I’m already looking forward to next Monday…..
