:: Seattle Oct 1 - 4, 2002 :: :: DjangoFest NorthWest :: Pretty Boy Freud (Ed and I, on this trip) headed out to Seattle to play at DjangoFest NorthWest. Thanks so much to the Massey's for putting us up, to Nick Lehr for organizing the event, and to bassist Lance Haslund and guitarist Ted Gottsegen, of Savitrio, for backing us up. Rehearsing at the Whidbey Island Center for the Arts. L to R: Ed Cotton, Ted Gottsegen, Lance Haslund, Rebecca Zapen. ...an' rehearsin'. Thanks to Henri Falconi for taking the photos. Savitrio went first, followed by Hot Club Sandwich, and then us, Pretty Boy Freud. Jon Thor Williams has a thorough list of all the bands and their set lists. Then, Ed invited Neil Andersson of Pearl Django and Jan Brouwer of Robin Nolan Trio and Pigalle 44 for an on-stage jam. Thanks to the Massey's for snapping these performance pics. L to R: Rebecca Zapen, Neil Andersson, Ted Gottsegen (hidden), Ed Cotton, Lance Haslund, Jan Brouwer Then it was off to the Dog House tavern for jamming. Greg Ruby of Hot Club Sandwich and Ed Cotton of Pretty Boy Freud are playin' away. Instead of musical chairs it was "swappin bass". Guitarist Greg takes a turn. Jamming with violinist Tim Wetmiller, Neil Andersson, Jan Brouwer, Robin Nolan, and a snazzily dressed fellow whose name I don't know. Thank you Henri for these jam pics, including the one of the "Meeting in the Ladies Room" jam. It was getting kind of loud, so I convinced luthier and former Pearl Django guitarist Shelley Park to play some music in the ladies room! With film maker Henri Falconi, who is doing a documentary on the Robin Nolan Trio With Robin Nolan With Jan Brouwer This is a 200 lb doggie named Sarah who lives at the Ashingdon Manor B&B. This was one nice B&B -- had a fluffy feather duvet -- there no way I could stuff that into my suitcase ;)
