Tonight we went with Jen and Tim out to Instabul House for an early Turkish dinner before a show at the Flynn Space

I love Instabul House.. because it reminds me of Living with the Erol’s in Vienna in 1979-80. The dad, Necat Erol ws from Turkey.. and they always had great Turkish food..   One of my favorites was Cac\u0131k, a cold cumber soup a little like Tziziki   I t brought back great memories when I ordered  it tonight ! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We walked over to the Flynn space.. which is a really nice small venue under the Flynn Theatre. Tonights show was called “Trouble and Together”.. it was organized by my old friend Jim.. Jim and I are long time members of VoMIT (Vermonts own MIT club)..  He’d invited us.. but I really didn’t know much about what we were here to watch.

It turns out that it was a wonderful musical review that Jim put on with 6 (I think) friends… (I mean I think they were 6.. they were definitely friends !)   Jim played base .. and long time acquaintance Paul A played lead guitar .. there was also a keyboards, drummer, procussionist.. and an amazingg fretless bassist. They were joined by  the ‘crackwall choir’ which was made up of  Jim’s wife  Abby and their daughters Hannah and Phoebe.   Jim explained that the  shows tile “trouble and together”  was about the trials and joys of living.. The group had had an saxaphist named Joe.. but Joe died recently.. seems like only months ago… Though not officially, this show was dedicated to him . 

The evening took us through old rock\/blues.. some jazz  and some folk.. I remember a Frank Zappa cover, a Moby grape cover a Joni Mitchel cover (coyote) , a John print cover (Lovely and Dead)  and a great cover of the Nick Lowe song (made more famous by Elvis Costello) “What’s so funny about Peace Love  and understanding”
