Brady and I caught the Yankees-O’s game yesterday afternoon and then later, the Furious Bongos, a Frank Zappa cover band, at the Keystone Korner Jazz Club. We had not initially planned on attending either of these events, but things worked out nicely that we could do so.

One of the owners of the Keystone Jazz Club Robert Wiedmaier was in Buzzy’s recently. After he had noticed my Frank Zappa poster in the bathroom, he mentioned an upcoming show at his club featuring a Zappa cover band and next thing you know he landed us some tickets to the show.

The Yanks-O’s game was originally a night game but got moved up to 1 o’clock due to bad weather being forecasted for later in the day.

Since Brady and I were heading to Baltimore for the concert, we left a little earlier in the day and caught the 7-0 ass whipping the Orioles laid on the Yankees. Sometimes, things just work out. Travel, baseball, music with my son! It does not get any better does it?

Here is a sample of the Furious Bongos covering Frank at one of their previous shows. One caveat, as some music critic once observed – Frank’s music is not for amateurs!
