When I am feeling particularly down, I listen to this song by Daniel Johnston for inspiration. This is a picture from Daniel’s performance at Emo’s on Saturday, March 21. The venue was amazing. It was indoors but the fourth wall opened to a side patio & in the back, there was another patio with a laminated wall of old concert posters. Prior to Daniel’s show, Grupo Fantasma played. They were a rockin’ Tex Mex band* with a horn section; three drummers; another percussionist; a bassist and at least two guitar players. It was a performance worthy of a wide angle lens that I do not have. If you heard them and were not at least a little tempted to join the people who were dancing in the way too packed for dancing crowd, then you are dead on the inside. Even with my heavy bag o’gear & the inability to move more than two inches in any direction, I found myself wanting to shake my groove thing.
Daniel followed them and, much to my surprise, many Grupo Fantasma members joined him for a few songs in the end. Hearing Daniel sing “Live & Let Die” was only made more amazing by the addition of Grupo Fantasma’s horn section. Wow.
*Wikipedia calls them “an 11-piece Latin funk orchestra.”
