packing up

This is my friend Steve Kaposy packing up his drums at the end of our spontaneous bistro gig/birthday party. It was Steve's sister Carolines birthday and my friend Yiorgos and I were invited to bring guitar and keys to play at this little bistro in the West End on Denman Street.

It turned out to be a friendly and charming little place and Caroline sang and Yiorgos and I kept up by the seat of our pants. We had cake and Jagermeister shooters and the owner and staff at the bistro and the regulars who dropped in were just a gas...

But the highlight of the evening was playing with Steve. He's just an awesome drummer, even playing quiet lounge type stuff his time is snappy and precise and his playing so fluid, deft and playful.

He has a really nice old 1968 Ludwig kit with the old 'Ringo' style logo on the bass drum head.

"My kit is older than me" he laughed.

What a nice time.
