Pagode!

It was another one of those Friday nights when my fun-o-meter gets a workout. After a normal Friday post-work rendezvous at the Great Dane brewpub with Reena and good friends, we went to a pagode party.


Chris and Gute

It was not a typical pagode party for the first two or three hours, as the music that was unfolding was not Brazilian. It was all over the board, with a strange array of instruments.

There is more, so follow the link...


Chris on Sitar


Cavaquino


Rand on Flute

I alternated between playing and taking photos. Having just eaten, I did not think I would be interested when the churrasco came off the grill, but just one taste of that succulent, salty carne and I definitely wanted more. Since I knew that there were people there who had not eaten, I restrained myself and only nibbled. But mmMMMM, it was good! Thus fueled, and bolstered by beer, the musicians played on.

Jeff on Guitar


Rand on Tabla

I was not able to stay until the wee hours of the morning, and the music was just shifting to samba when I left. Reena stayed late and says the music was fun right up until it was done. Yeah, another Friday night thoroughly seized.
