Shea's Lounge

Check out Bob the Drummer with the ladies!

Bleu Voodoo rocked the house last night at Shea’s Lounge in Mt Dora. It was a fun night with some good friends. Special thanks to Ed & Gail, Kelley & Kelly, and Brenda for hanging out with us all night! It was great to be back on stage creating that unmistakable Voodoo sound. We were a little rusty from the time off but after a few songs we were hooked up. Sure, Bob The Drummer was out of shape and at one point managed to give himself a double Charlie Horse, but all in all he was very solid. Henry never ceases to amaze me with the creative bass riffs and it was fun to look over and smile because we know the mojo.

Oh, the Voodoo streak of at least one person hitting the floor stayed alive as a “couple” danced and as the dude dipped his victim, they continued right on to the floor. In a valiant effort he struggled to hold himself up off of her so as not to crush her; his drunken body looked like a he was caught dangling in one of those large nets used in the jungle that spring up from sprung trees to catch tigers. It quickly became obvious he was losing the fight and one of the brother Warlocks at the bar stepped in and plucked the drunk off of the little lady still prone on the floor. Once free she popped up and after a laugh and a few high fives, it was forgotten.

Special thanks to Cliff who introduced himself as a former member of a 1970’s band and offered to not only clean up our sound by adjusting the levels on our PA, but to also get up and sing some blues because he was in a band in the 70’s and was really good. He assured me over and over that he wouldn’t embarrass us and that he was really good and the patrons there know him and they all like him and that he was really good. Unfortunately for Cliff, the night ended early and he never got his chance to get up on stage, mess with our equipment, and “sing” some blues. Bummer.

But the night was fun, the music as good, the beer was cold and the girls were pretty... life is good!
