DeVotchKa in Houston last night
An old friend of Lori Ann (and her brother), Tom Hagerman, was in town last night, touring with his band, DeVotchKa. Tom called us, and gave us all-access passes to the show. We got to go backstage before the show and hang out with the band, drink their beer, and catch up with Tom.
And then we watched the show. Crooked Fingers opened, and Tom played some songs with them. Then DeVotchKa came on. What a show. We had to leave before they were done (work night and all), but we really enjoyed ourselves. Very talented musicians, especially Tom, who not only plays the violin, but also the accordion, keyboard, and who knows what else. They even had a Theremin on stage.
Lori Ann and I both realized that it had been too long since we had gone out together to see live music. It was good to break the daily routine, and we need to do it more often. Thanks Tom!
