 Thursday, July 16, 1998 Jones Beach, New York Unfortunately, I have to say Jones Beach is the worst place we've been to yet. The compound seems like a prison, all cement, moist and mildewy. In fact, I couldn't get any video footage due to "Dew Detected" flashing it's warning. Not to mention the strict rules of the venue prohibiting photography of any nature other than the alotted minute or two prescribed by them. However, it was nice to be close to the ocean and feel that cool breeze on occasion. The first day a spontaneous drumming happened which was really neat. I was sitting in the backstage/eating area having lunch. All of a sudden I become aware of the low, rhythmic beating of drums. I looked over and saw several band and crew members rattling and drumming away on actual and made up instruments. It lasted for about an hour and was very enjoyable to watch and listen to. It's been really great having Garrison Starr around. She and her people were fun to get to know and I love her music. I'm going to miss seeing her happy friendly face around. |
