Ani with Xylophone
So, I went to Ani DiFranco last night in Veneta. It was a pretty good show, but I was a little disappointed that her percussion section on this tour is a guy with a xylophone, a cymbol, and a bass drum. It was interesting, and Ani does a lot of driving rhythm with her guitar, but I was a little disappointed.
The venue was Secret House Winery. Silly me, I figured they had at least a covered amphitheatre. Nope. The backdrop of the hastily constructed stage was a wall built of bales of hay, and the "seating" was a dusty field. I usually don't go anywhere without my trusty hat, but wouldn't you know it: I let my guard down and ended up sitting in the sun for two hours without it.
Ani commented that her "dressing room" was an old shack that had the "tangy" smell of cats.
Well, now I know.
On the plus side, if you are prepared (folding chairs, blanket, hat), the overall ambiance was quite nice. Good scenery. Cozy crowd. Strangely attractive radical lesbians; ah, forbidden fruit squared.
