smoking backstage
Last night I got a free ticket to see Cassandra Wilson in concert because Laura was working at the show. Her name sounded vaguely familiar to me and I liked her music all right. It was very bluesy/jazzy/folksy/rock-out. Her opening band was too New Age for my taste. I'm not a big fan of a harmonica and synthesizer together. The crowd seemed to love it though, and they loved Cassandra even more. The obviously knew all her music, unlike myself. Afterwards I went backstage with Laura and met the band. Cassandra was smoking in the small downstairs room and they all flipped out when they found out we were triplets. The bass player changed his clothes in front of us. The band manager was a bit uptight and frazzled. I don't think I've ever hung out with a band backstage before, except for Infradig, which is of course always fun.
