When I heard that The Posers, my favorite local band, was playing at The Brass Tack in Frankfort, NY, I got all excited. Then, due to the weather forecast, they changed the date from Wednesday to Thursday. Rats! I had someplace I was supposed to be on Thursday (nothing blogworthy). However, after I fulfilled my commitment I managed to stop by to enjoy a little music.
OK, not the best shot.
As I pulled into the parking lot, I could hear them playing one of my favorites, “Is She Really Going Out With Him?” I danced as I walked up the ramp to the entrance, which was right behind them. At least the audience saw me. I paused at the bar for a glass of wine then made my way out to the porch where a number of people were enjoying the tunes. I found a place to sit down, asking a couple at an adjoining table if I would be in their way. They said I would not.
Alas, my good friend Rick, the bass player, was not there. He recently got a full knee replacement and was not able to play. What is it with knee replacements? One of my favorite actors can’t be in the murder mystery because he is getting one, too! Come to think of it, one of my knees has been really hurting lately. Oh dear.
Different angle, not much better.
Perhaps if I would have stayed longer, till the sun had dropped a little lower, I could have gotten better pictures. However, the band took a break when my wine was quite low in my glass, so I snuck away, pausing at the exit to wave, so it was not really so sneaky. At least I had done what I could to support local music.
The next time I go to the Brass Tack, I hope to order some food. I know they are a really good place to eat. They are located at 4258 Acme Rd., Frankfort, NY, phone number 315-894-7996.
