This is in the nature of a Waste Not Want Not Wednesday post, but it is really about a band I had been wanting to check out, largely because of its name: Uncle Charlie and the Meatballs. I finally got to hear them at Community Day last Saturday at Town of Herkimer Park in East Herkimer.
They were awesome!
They rocked out with classic rock tunes, such as an old lady like me loves. Unfortunately, none of my pictures turned out very well, hence my calling this a Waste Not Want Not Wednesday.
Of course I took the opportunity to dance.
By the time they started playing, I had run into my friends Kelly and Jim, so we made our way over and sat down at a picnic table. I stood up and danced my way over to take a couple of pictures. On my way back, I ran into another friend and stopped to chat, during which time I accidentally hit something on my camera which videotaped our feet. I believe I have mentioned my problems with technology. I erased the video, though, because we did not feel our conversation bore repeating.
I will be delighted to hear them again.
I did not listen for very long before I danced my way out, first dancing over to the tip jar and leaving a tip. I met another friend in the parking lot with (I think) his grandson. I mentioned that I had been dancing, at which the grandson immediately started boogeying down. Let’s hear it for the younger generation!
I follow Uncle Charlie and the Meatballs on Facebook, so I hope to hear them play again soon.
