I had another one of those "best kind of nights" on Friday... It was a night spent with some of my lovely friends - Amy and Caxton - who are cool and awesome, and inspiring to me in so many ways. Inspiring because they're always up for doing something fun, they're into music, and are all around - artistic.
The night started at Tin Roof (great music venue) with Amy and I dancing away - completely absorbed in every song performed by The Specs - and nope, the night didn't end there. We took the fun back to her apartment, and I grabbed my favorite musician friend, Caxton (also my neighbor), on the way too. We spent the night listening to her sing any song we requested, and again became absorbed in every song, completely in awe of her beautiful voice. Walking in Memphis, Crazy by Gnarles Barkley, Mr. Jones, a few "Caxton originals", and many more. Loved every minute of it, and when she got tired, we switched to Amy's record collection... A little Elton John and Chuck Berry that night.
It couldn't have been more fun.
Here's a song by The Specs, called Annabel Lee, that has been in my head all weekend... And here's Caxton's Blog. If you're in the Charleston area you should check her out!
