Wow! What a great night Sal and I had! We were among the fortunate few to attend a Victoria Vox house concert at Marrell Music in Lakewood. Opening for Victoria was singer/guitarist, Joshua Jesty -- a friend of hers from way back. He had a delightfully self-deprecating sense of humor and his songs sounded lovely. They were very sad, but didn't depress Sal and I too much because they were beautifully done. As a matter of fact, he was so good that I was not wishing the whole time he would stop and let the person we had come to see start performing (which is the unfortunate fate of many an opening act). Hearing him was an unexpected pleasure!
I can't say enough about what a great show Victoria Vox put on! Not only is she a wonderful musician, but she is funny and charming, too. (I could go on and on, but nobody wants to read large amounts of gushing, so I'll stop. Suffice it to say that if you ever have the opportunity to see Victoria Vox perform, don't miss it!) After her totally delightful show,
she took some questions and then there was a short break before a brief
strum-along was to begin. I asked Joshua and Victoria to pose with Sal
and they agreed. Now it's time for the pictures to tell the story...
Victoria and Joshua with Sal.
Victoria tunes Sal up! I didn't think that Little Sal would be played tonight, but she is awfully cute, so what uke lover could resist her? (She was terribly out of tune, I must admit.)
Lucky Sal is being played by Victoria -- an impromptu rendition of "Don't Get Around Much Anymore." Lots of people got out phones and cameras to take pix and videos. Is this Sal's 15 minutes of fame?
Little Sal + Victoria Vox = Beautiful Music + Fun!
