Ooo My God!

A blues gig at o hotel pune turned out to be a starry night.
As I parked the car in front of a lavish new hotel in pune called the o hotel.
Extremely expensive a hole in the pocket kind. walking thru the entrance of the hotel and experience the international visitors. Everything was iron cold. The floor so clean so corporate. The sound of my shoes gave me jitters.
Gig was on the roof top. Excited to reach the top I loaded my camera. walking in I heard this cool bluesy breeze come right thru. As I approached the band the hotel manager shouts out to reduce the sound so funny. Crowd was so stiff and inspirited. Blues can’t be played in such places for the rich and comfortable. Blues is all about the bad times. I really appreciate the band they put in all they could. The unfortunate part is these are the only joints that pays the musicians. All I would request is for people to give musicians an ear and for god sake stop eating... ooo my god...
