sleeping in with the one you love, not having any deadlines to meet and basically doing anything you want. This was the case for Robert and me yesterday.
After staying out late Friday night, we decided before we turned in for the night that the next day would be a lazy day. After waking up at 9am, I made breakfast while Robert checked his email and wrote his fantastic music review. Belgian waffles with real whipped cream (not hard to make) and coffee really hit the spot. The remainder of the day was spent watching Star Wars, napping, doing a little editing for work (me) and figuring out what to do last night.
We started with a simple dinner at one of our favorite eateries, AJ's Seafood. We sat outside as the weather was absolutely gorgeous. The rain finally took its' leave of the Atlanta area to let us enjoy the beginning of summer. Allie, our waitress, was fabulous as always and Tony, one of the owners came out to sit with us. The business is doing well and the quality has remained consistent from day one.
From there, it was on to Darwin's. For those of you who have never been to Darwin's, let me tell you it is a real treat. Not a fancy establishment by any means, but one that has a lot of character. Autographed pictures of musicians line the walls and ceilings, old dinette sets and even school desks with mis-matched chairs suffice as seating - while lighting is a compilation of various odd lamps. The stage, backed with gold lame' provides a quirky setting for the band. Darwin's is also listening to its' customers, providing a non-smoking show for the first set, then smoking for the second. Any way you look at it, this place is always 'Smokin'! Come on in, take a seat and make yourself at home because tonight is a special treat.
Now playing at Darwin's is The Andrew Black Band. Three accomplished musicians will provide the entertainment for the night. Andrew is the ultimate entertainer, singing 'to' his audience and even working his way throughout the crowd, really making you feel that he is glad you are there. Then there's Jon Schwenke the bass player. This is one of the players Robert likes to follow and emulate his style. Jon is not only an accomplished bass player, but sings extremely well too. He is the epitome of cool. And finally John McKnight on drums. Talk about personality and talent all rolled into one. John will drum any available surface, throw his sticks in the air, catch them and continue to play without ever missing a beat. These guys are some of our favorites and it is such a pleasure to hear them and experience their show up close and personal. Added bonus of the evening..... John gave me a broken drum stick, very cool. It will hold a place of high esteem in our music/family room.
And here we are again, the morning after... sleeping in. Til the next time........
