The Portfolios

I know we haven’t been posting much lately. I’ve been trying to get Xianyi to write about her new job, which she started on Monday, but she is reluctant. I was going to write something about the ridiculous Chinese habit of making up blatant lies as excuses for changing schedules, e.g., a guy setting up a gig for us in Nanjing says that the company hiring us had to move the date because they “knew” – nine days ahead of time – it was going to rain on the appointed day, so they rescheduled for the following week, because they “knew” – sixteen days ahead of time, that it would NOT rain on the new date. I suggested that the company get out of the advertising business and into the weather forecasting racket, because they stood to make a killing. This humor was lost on my friend, who thought they had given a perfectly reasonable explanation for the changing of the dates.

Anyway, here is an album’s worth of great photos from our super-awesome show at Live Bar last weekend. Enjoy.

Since the official Georgia Sam website isn’t getting much play yet, here’s a clue to the weekend’s activities, kids…

Announcing the band’s official website. There’s not much there yet, but do check out the single we just cut in the studio. Ironically, the first song The Georgia Sam Blues Band decided to record was a reggae number. Forbidden riddims.
