In the groove tent with Buddy Miles
A surprise guest joined the New Orleans Social Club on the Washington Mutual Stage on Sunday night: Buddy Miles, a member of Jimi Hendrix’s legendary band. Of course, the Social Club played one of Miles’ legendary tunes, “Them Changes.” Though members of the crowd seemed drugged in that superheated tent at the almost-end of a hard three days, they leapt to their feet and began to boogie with spirit. Of course, several were already on their feet, moved by the energy of the band formed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina to make a recorded-in-Austin charity album that, sadly, never was able to raise any money for its cause.
“Remember, it’s times like these that we need to stand together for our own,” Miles said before hobbling off the stage on his cane. A good reminder.
