Chisholm Outdoor Concert!
OMG! The halfway houses emptied out big-time in Chisholm when The Mighty Bohunks took their timeless (no offense RON) take on greasy classic rock to the streets! What a perfect night! Here is a view from the stage right before dusk. We had a small issue with a power amp, but as luck would have it Mike Charter was dressed to kill for a wedding at The Moose, and he plugged in 1.6 Jigga-Watts of Peavey Power DURING A FRIGGIN SONG!
And The Mighty Bohunks rocked on, even harder for the throbbing thong, er, throng of wasted sunburnt northern Bohunk fans! Meathead, the fifth Bohunk, slid the sliders until the cucumber sauce spilled out of his gyro from the good, good vibrations.
We need more gigs like this one. 400+ people in the streets! LOUD rock n roll! Gyros that can't be beat! The mayor stopped by to pay us the highest compliments, and issue The Mighty Bohunks the key to the city!
Joe commented that underneath the spotlights, it's as if you're a million miles away. Vic noticed that the sweat poured out his body, like the music that he played, and the modular home he sold. I freaked because I thought the old Marshall amp was giving up the analog ghost, but it turned out to be a dead battery. Ron polished his drums.
We met some folks that are from Elk River. We hope to see them this weekend at Scooters. We commented on Dear Prudence dancing in the streets. End of the night brought the band trailer and Shawn sweeping the street's debris (don't they have machines for that?)
Good night Chisholm, wherever you are! We'll see you folks next weekend in Big Lake! The Albertville Friendly City Days is that weekend also, so run your little 5K, buy the kids some junk food, then high-tail it into Scooters to get your yaya's out with The Mighty Bohunks.
