LOOSE MARBLES
December 31, 2007
Before it slips my mind, I happened upon this band in New Orleans last month and felt like I had been beamed back to my Gypsy Jazz roots. I heard a tuba, and looked into a window, and there were people dancing on the chairs and the bar, and a tuba player was following them around the room as he played. In the corner- clarinet, accordian, washboard, fiddle, and Etc. if you can imagine Etc. attached to an already otherworldly band. I only got to hear one song, as they were folding it up for the evening. Google both ‘Loose Marbles’ and ‘Baby Soda’. I am a convert and a groupie and need to join this troupe before the suits find them.

Thanks to some wise nightclubs owners, live entertainers continue to eat well during this economic downturn. It was during the Great Depression that Cabaret and Vaudeville got their start as people swarmed into the pubs to forget their troubles for a few hours. The cost/value ratio of live entertainment suits the recession pocket book and mind-set. If you stay home and wallow about your wallet, you’ll soon find yourself in the emergency room for a failed suicide attempt, chronic depression or Epstein-Barr Virus. Without health insurance, your stress-related illness will cost you upwards to $1,000 dollars. A night out in a cabaret will run you about $50. Take your pick. See you at The Sidebar….
I played with those guys once. They were awesome. But that clarinet player needed to get a new shirt or something. I think his girlfriend kept getting after all his money.
