Alas, our part in the Peter and the Wolf/Mellow Owl tour has been deferred until the Dallas show on Monday. I can't lie, it was somewhat disheartening. A lot of time and energy went into preparing for it, not to mention enough enthusiasm to challenge a small child on Christmas/Chanukah/Kwanza morning. Things happen, though, and we just have to roll with it.
Even though we've always kept it in mind, this emphasized the importance and relevance of approaching each group of artists in a unique way that suits them. We're trying to give everyone the respect they deserve without crowding them or creating a disingenuous image. Whether that means focusing on them without categorizing or making them into a part of "the scene," or if it's just filming someone walking down a street -- or not. Sometimes just filming someone walking makes them self conscious, and then you've already lost the truth of that moment.
Despite the disappointment of deferring the tour, we got right back into gear and reshuffled the schedule so we didn't lose any time in terms of shooting. I even got a full refund on the car rental, which makes me think that somewhere the gods of something are still smiling benevolently upon this project. Last night we shot a show at Hole in the Wall with The Harlequins, who have Bill from Black Joe Lewis' Honeybears on bass and keyboard. They played a great set, I took a few pictures for y'all to see:
Nathan, Rob and Dave are meeting with Bill Baird right now, and tomorrow morning we're heading up to Dallas to meet up with Red Hunter and the band. Stay tuned...
