Keith & Warren in Laguna Beach -- Saturday, 22Feb2014

A really great night! This is what I do it for!

The weather was really nice so lots of people were out. We got a bunch of young families all at once and started up a big party. I got out the fingerlights and passed out 6 or 7. And of course, once we had some kids and parents dancing, clapping, and shaking tambourines, that dragged other people in, until we had a really big crowd and requests rolling in 4 deep.

As the party started to taper off, a Persian guy and his daughter came by. The daughter seemed to want to play a tambourine, so I gave her one, and the dad grabbed another one to show her how. Without a word they just climbed right on into the act, and when Warren stepped out to take pictures, they just moved on into his "spot", and the daughter, and then the dad, picked up his guitar and pretended to play along (fortunately, it was unplugged).

It was also a great night for older people coming by to sit and listen for a while. Got lots of nice people, and lots of requests – some of them unusual, like "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" and "Pancho and Lefty".

Some high school girls, all dressed and made up, were walking by and suddenly stopped to listen. I guess they liked what they were hearing, 'cuz they suddenly broke out dancing, but it was a goofy hillbilly hoedown dance, which looked pretty funny in their disco clothes, hair, and makeup.
