On Thursday I was very busy, taking care of my family and finishing a recording session, when I saw very briefly that Pete Quaife of the Kinks had died. I didn't have time to process it until I was performing at my regular Thursday night sunset show in Hawaii Kai. I sang a couple of songs in his honor, and managed to capture it with a Flip that was in my music bag.

Well, it's a dinner spot, and not a gathering of Kinks fans. It's background music. This performance was mostly for myself, since I was feeling the moment.

@pgrabar I love live music, but one of the frustrations of going to live music, especially in a bar, is people talking through the music. It drives me, as a listener, crazy. I can't imagine how it affects the performer. How do you do it, Jim?

Very nice tribute to Pete Quaife...but what's with the audience? Talking during the songs, then not clapping when they're over...wtf?
