The Flea gives a poetic description of events ocurring one recent evening in the sleepy town of Lowell,
Massachusetts.......
|
|
|
|
| 'Twas down a dark and snowy cobblestone street in an old New England mill town.... |
|
| ...The chinese lanterns lit the gated entrance..... |
|
| Inside were men wearing hats and playing ukuleles........... |
|
| ...and men wearing hats discussing ukuleles......... |
|
| ....And beautiful ladies gazing at ukuleles displayed like pork chops at the deli... |
|
| Zack Hickman with his bass and handlebar mustache accompanied Tim Mann ...... |
|
| Robert Wheeler's performance photography filled the cases and walls..... |
|
| Robert's humorous inspirations of Ukulele Consciousness filled the air.... |
|
| They came from as far away as Ohio to play.......... |
|
| An audience of 50 strong was amazed as Jim Volk fingerpicked through rock classics... |
|
| And Jim Volk and his shirt blended into the museum's psychedelic walls. |
|
| Peter Bloom with his bass flute accompanied Matt Samolis |
|
| They drank and drank and stayed through the storm to hear that phenomenon known as "Ukulele Noir." |
|
| Melvern and his Fabulous Meltones played for the hometown fans... |
|
| And then the night drew to a close...... |
|
| And the light darkened.......and the evening faded into the shadows. |
|
| And into our memories. |
