Welcome! I had the grandest of pleasures when given the opportunity to follow around two thirds of "Chantel And The Cheap Drunks". You have probably heard all about them.
This is Chantel. You can usually find her kicking ass behind the piano, but every now and then we coax her out to come play. She gets us into trouble, usually, seeing as she is a
very bad influence on the normal behavior which we all usually exude. *WINK*
This is Josh. He is known by many names which add to the normal amounts of awesome he is, and magnifies it to astounding levels. Also, he Physics.
It was on this day, which started like any other Saturday, that I met up with Chantel and Josh down at the market. They had finished playing early at the Market due to musical differences. It was on the roof that I made my rendezvous armed with Irished coffee and my camera.
We then set out!
Fresh in the air were the leavings of a Friday night.
Finding a spot, they quickly set up shop and declared street dominance with the ceremonious "Tossing Of The Hat" to indicate awesome was about to happen,
LOOK OUT!
Through the clammour of the street, the sweet sounds of a guitar tuning cut the edge off the harsh world around them.
Faces alight with hope, they began the sweet succession of voices intermingling with the vibration of the guitar. Cautious foot traffic weaves around the hat, perplexed and confused by the beauty they are confronted with.
All was not to be that way for long. With great resignation, the local authorities were made to give notice that it was "Not alright" to be awesome where people might be confronted with the chance for happiness. He was an alright dude, though.
"
I have found a spot" proclaimed Josh. "
This pleases me."
Once again the sweet hum of music fills the air.
It was here that the people realized what was going on, and who it was that played among them. They stopped to take pictures with their phones and stare in uncomprehensable recognition. "
That's Chantel! And a Cheap Drunk!"
Chantel is pleased by this.
Song after song, they play with abandon, knowing what their fans are there for, and delivering it straight to their brains through their ears.

| Like A Boss |
This is a man who knows about awesome, and has a
Ph.D to prove it.
Literally.
On into the afternoon they played, when most would have collapsed due to musical fatigue.
And on they played. I had to leave, but on into the day the echo of their music would stay with me, spreading the inspiration they sought to bestow.
