The Blind Boys of Alabama

[botias]

The other night my mom and I went to see them. They were a kick in the pants. They each had a chair, and as the show went on, one or another of the Boys (I guess maybe they were that when they started touring in the 1940's) became too moved to sit and would get up and dance. The (sighted) bass player would notice and move over to the offender and put a hand on his shoulder and guide him back to his chair. At one point they were getting up faster than he was able to sit them down. I don't know how he played his guitar while doing this duty.

In other news, we went to the beach yesterday. If it refuses to rain or gloom, then I guess we must make the best of things.
