Three Wheel Drive: the Tour
It’s been four months since my last entry, so it’s time for a quarterly update. I continue
playing with two woodwind quintets, one up here in Westchester, the other on 75th
Street in the city, which is gratifying, if somewhat stressful, since all the other players
are much better than I. But it’s my trio, Three Wheel Drive, that seems to be grabbing
my attention and energy these last couple months. Maybe it’s because we’re getting
some face time with the masses, tho probably not as much as, say, Nirvana or Jimi
Hendrix, did. But we played an actual paying (well, hat-passing) gig at Starving
Artist on City Island in New York and did a really well-received number at Tribes Hill
annual Winter Soltice concert in Hastings, which is in lower Westchester. I live in
upper Westchester. There’s no implication of superiority, here. Scarsdale is in lower
Westchester. So is Larchmont.
