Walt Weiskopf!

Walt. OK remember the ban on concert photography? I usually oblige. But. Something made me raise my camera to snap a single picture of this moment. I remember it so well.

Walt walked to center stage. Donald pulled the microphone forward over his keyboard. He said something about predicting the current economic mess back in 2000-something. When he said that I knew what he was going to play. I had never heard it performed live. I smiled. I spent some time back in 2000 something hacking this song for a radio show on radiomargaritaville.

This sax solo was the introduction to a show I put together. I love every note of it. Walt was getting ready to freaking rip it. It was off the meter. By the time I caught my breath I snapped one single picture to avoid the camera nazis. You are looking at it. It was a moment. I am glad I captured a small part of it. You really have to experience this band live. I cannot describe how good they are, I can only try.

It's high time for a walk on the real side
Let's admit the bastards beat us
I move to dissolve the corporation
In a pool of margaritas
So let's switch off all the lights
Light up all the Luckies
Crankin' up the afterglow
Cause we're goin' out of business
Everything must go

Talk about your major pain and suffering
Now our self-esteem is shattered
Show the world a mighty hidey-ho face
As we go sliding down the ladder

It was sweet up at the top
'Til that ill wind started blowing
Now it's cozy down below
'Cause we're goin' out of business
Everything must go

We gave it our best shot
But keep in mind we got a lot
The sky, the moon, good food and the weather
First-run movies-does anybody get lucky twice?
Wouldn't it be nice...

Tell me can you dig it Miss Fugazy
Now it's gone from late to later
Frankly I could use a little face time
In the service elevator
And if Dave from Acquisitions
Wants to get in on the action
With his Handicam in tow
Well we're goin' out of business
Everything must go

Can it be the sorry sun is rising
Guess it's time for us to book it
Talk about the famous road not taken
In the end we never took it
And if somewhere on the way
We got a few good licks in
No one's ever gonna know
'Cause we're goin' out of business
Everything must go
