Pat's Weekly Diary: 11/8
We played two gigs on Saturday. For well over 20 years now the Topcats have been playing The Down Syndrome Association of Greater New Orleans Buddy Walk (DSAGNO) What a fantastic gig this has been for us over the years. The kids have great time dancing and singing along. Over the years we've made a great connection with so many friends and families out enjoying the event. We were there over the levee in Kenner's Lake Town at 11:30 Saturday morning. Playing on a metal stage. Nothing protecting us over head. No breeze from the Ponchartrain. The morning sun beating down. It was hot hot hot!!! We played until 1:30 there. Then with just a couple of hour to kill we were at the Discovery School Swamp Fest. Had to be there at 4 to play for 5. We played this fair for the first time last year on a rainy nasty evening. Fortunately this year the weather was quite nice and a nice crowd of people were out. Not a whole lot of dancing. Just sit back and enjoy the music. As always thanks for your continued support. Here's hoping we will see you on the 21st at Rock n Bowl.
