I didn't know he was going to play in Berlin until about half an hour before they got on stage.
no heads-up notice around here, shame on you who knew about it^^

anyway, half of our band was at our rehearsal room
and we made it a short rehearsal due to the fact that we where still a little knocked out from the drummers birthdaybash the night before.
so we decided to have some recuperating beers at "Bergmannstrassenfest" 3min from our place.
It's an outdoor festivity on the street usually known for (dixie)jazz and lots of kids-stuff, food and drinks. ahh, well - we're only here for the beer....

...BUT THEN - we were so pleased to be informed that Chris Jagger and Atcha would be up on stage in 30 minutes - whoohoo, Yeah

It was great to hear those zydeco tunes, ballads and stompin'country songs.
real good time music, got the folks moving.
Chris was in great shape, good singing, guitar playing and dancing around with his washboard (armor).
He made some funny remarks about the Stones ticket prices while this one was for free.
He got one good lookin' lady up on stage and danced with her to some fast zydeco song. Chris was leading her very firm and fast - it worked well and was fun to watch.

Atcha played a 2 hours set and really made my day.
afterwards they were selling the new CD "Act of Faith" and signing them.
I tried to buy one, but they where sold out in less than 3 minutes - bad luck on that, but still lucky to see Chris and his band by accident and for free.

now, I'm still recuperating
you can call me the THE RECUPERATOR - but only today
