The Gainor & Friends band recently performed a sunset gig for the Children`s Hospital at a nearby community autumn street festival amidst sweltering Indian summer temperatures. As darkness quickly enveloped the venue, the perspiring musicians paused for what proved to be a strangely eerie photo next to a disembodied bronze bust. “We have no eyes,” protested a singer in a subsequent e-mail. “Looks like the zombie apocalypse,” complained a fiddler. “Beware of bluegrass goblins, ” lamented a guitarist gravely.
To placate the alarmed pickers, the BRC founder circulated last year`s reassuringly cheerful band photo at the festival (where chilly weather had us shivering despite windbreakers and caps).
Still unconvinced that there were not unearthly spirits roaming in the gloaming during this year`s creepy picture, our bassist wondered. “Like a cross, will a banjo fend-off vampires?”
Nope, not a ghost of a chance. Have you gone bats?
