With John Crow busy being Santa Claus, the band is reduced to 4 members for Dickens.
|
'Course you could always pad out the band by roping in an unsuspecting wandering Bedlam crew member.
|
Maroon the Shantyman takes the guitar cases and prepares to make like Deperado on everyone's Christmas season.
|
Harvey tries to stupify the crowd by battering them with pirate joke after pirate joke.
|
The band moves over to the Seaport Museum to perform in front of the Elissa, causing a traffic jam getting in and out.
|
'Course, if you don't want a traffic jam, you better not bring on the Pride of Bedlam to dance with ya.
|
Many of the crowd there just thought they were going to take a tour of the ship. Now they have therapy to think about.
|
Here's Squeegy the Cabin Boy "watching" our stuff between shows.
|
Maroon and Harvey the Corpsman try to liven up the sales by posing by the doors, then snagging unsuspecting patrons and flinging them inside.
|
The band finishes out the weekend by moving to the Elissa herself to perform an extra long set. I don't know if they'll ever get the stains off her.
|
'Course one reason they don't sing on the pier is that it's slowly falling into the harbor thanks to Hurricane Ike.
|
This former gulf side souvenier store is a big example of Ike's damage. It's one of the 2 over the water buildings not totally leveled.
