New Year's Eve in Wisconsin

Leandra and I made plans to go up to Wisconsin over the New Year's holiday to celebrate Christmas with each of our families. We left Thursday night and stayed overnight in Terre Haute and finished up the ride on Friday (New Year's Eve).

Leandra threw up three times that day; twice after breakfast and once after lunch (two times in the car). We are still working on shaking her nausesousness...is that a word? We made it to Elkhorn, Wis. around 2:00 pm and unpacked at her sister's place where we are crashing for the next few days.

That evening, Leandra and I drive to Greco's Pub and Eatery to listen to my cousin's band, Double Flush, play a New Year's gig. The last time I went to see them was about two years ago at the same place.

Double Flush started out a bunch of guys who worked together who realized they had enough instrumentation to create a band. A few changes in drummers and another guy leaving the band, and a quintet became a quartet. They don't do anything complicated. Mostly covers of bluesy-rock type of music.

During the set break, my cousin asked if I wanted to sing a couple of songs. I had to tak ea look at their set list and figure out what songs I knew well enough to sing from beginning to end. I picked out Can't Get Enough by Bad Company and Hard to Handle by The Black Crowes.

Leandra recorded my cameo on her iPhone. The audio mix for the band wasn't all that great and the microphone on the phone is limited with what it pick up, but here at the two songs.
