Just back from another set by Eli and the Chocolate FActory. The usual
culprits, more or less, except that there was no bass and there was a
drummer (whose name I didn't catch) sin a snare and cymbals instead of the
more regular washboard. On "Bourbon Street" and "All of Me" the band
featured a guest singer Ella Daniel (aka Black Betty when with her own
band, The Betty Bears, who have quite a few numbers on the web).
We happened to be quite a big bunch this time - there were eight of us,
despite the raily weather. True, it didn't rain when I left home an
throughout the performance - a good thing as the smokers had to seat on the
street - but some twenty minutes before I left home it rainde cats and dogs
and perhaps some larger animals!
A vey enjoyable evening. And, although the joint is vegetarian (which, in
my vocabulary means - nothing to eat), it has two different beers of the
Jerusalem microbrewery Shapira - a pale ale and a stout, bothe excellent.
Cheers
