In some parts of Canada, they’d call this a snow chesterfield.

Sister Patti Maguire also thought it might be chance to also save the orphanage, whose taxes are long overdue, so Doug decided to get the band back together.

He found bass man Tom “What’s Next Pussy Cat” Jones photographing moss near the lake. Sax player Maia “Mad Reed” Dalager was fishing on Bone Lake. Singer Nancy “Power Serve” Norr was presenting to the board of directors. Drummer Andy “Phantom” Wold was trapped in the orchestra pit at the opera. Guitarist Steve “Blind Dog” Dalager was up to his hips in organic compost. And sound engineer Scott “Trespasser” Norr was trespassing near the West Fork of the Baptism River.

Long story short, Doug got the band together, and here are a few samples.

Stormy Monday. This was the service prelude. The recording is through the sound system here, and since sax and percussion weren’t miked, you aren’t quite hearing the real deal.

01-stormy-monday

You got to move. This was the psalm.

03-youve-got-to-move-when-the-spiri

Oh when the saints. This was the sending hymn.

oh-when-the-saints-go-marchin-in

She really really loved me. This was the postlude.

she-really-really-loved-me

There was more, but that’s a decent sampling. Church blues are the next Corvair (unsafe at any speed), but the band had fun, and we made it to City Hall later, paid the taxes, and saved the orphanage.

We played again this past Wednesday. I think we’re going to try to play there once a month, probably the first or second Wednesday. Elusive we are…

Here’s a sampling.
