Last night we went to watch a band called Moe play at Bar Shannon. Moe is a cover band and they played all sorts of great songs from Travis, U2, The Cure, The Beatles, you name it. The lead singer of the band is a guy that one of the other Fellows works with, so this was pretty fun to watch them perform. As you can imagine Bar Shannon in a British pub; yes, a British pub in Montevideo. We had a great time and I just wanted to share a quick picture of my band debut. They were in need of a tambourine player I stepped in. It was so much fun and I ended up playing for several songs. My hand is very bruised today, as expected, but it was worth it. I knew I would be “discovered” in Montevideo!

My husband (Big Rix) wants to know how you keep the beat on a tamborine????
Hola, Big and Little Rix! The tambourine is a very complex instrument…believe me. It takes much practice and talent to accomplish. Maybe someday you’ll be able to keep the beat like Katie-Kate can!
i once played the tambourine during a “big hair” cover band…i bruised my hip and it was well worth it!
glad to see you’re having a terrific time!
I had a similar experience as Annie. I got up onstage in Urbana for what seemed like the whole night with the Mighty Pranksters. Had a purple palm and a purple bruise on my thigh. But, it was worth it - I was the best damn tambourine player that night!
