it's this like wave of smugness that's going across the country right now like a virus of elitism you know you know i'm talking about she's like no it's my birthday weekend like i'm pretty sure you only get twenty four hours to eat as much cake and trick as much booze it possibly can but when you finally get a marathon that's cool that's my well being my buddy is actually the film we're at now were out last week and it was a we have like screwed up days off because of the military so it's like a tuesday night or wednesday night and this girl's out and she has like i had on and like whatever and like we're like oh yeah like i was your birthday she goes no it's it's my birthday month ha ha ha it's your birthday it just happen to you it's your birthday month i don't know because that's one step short of oh it's my a thank you guys so let me get up here and you know do my stuff and you guys are awesome thank you thank you tony very good this can be a problem for saturday of every month and i'm sorry you're ready to talk about our first schedule act go right ahead already so we have dan toit coming up here and dan is a versatile and accomplished performer of americana and irish music and his own well crafted originals he is a crowd pleaser and his shows are warm and humorous and spontaneous he has been at this for a long time and despite what you have said that we as we've got a lot of great years in this room here that's a good thing that we've been doing this for a long time here so we're proud of it so he also is currently working on his initial cd and so dan is getting set up here and i will move this down so we can get better camera angles and tommy i'll let you get the sound down there it's funny this place is like halfway between shot him boy and trent state where i went to school the only reason we have or came to princeton was to buy books or  cold well you know i love you talent scouts at the lambertville city market open stage he trained in piano at the university of north texas after growing up in long island and then returned to new york as a sideman in a bunch of bands before going solo he moved to new hope thank you i'm a drummer actually playing piano so so good luck with that i've got several originals play for you tonight but i would like to start off with a single day i woke up i consider myself really lucky to live there was about beautiful new hope now which is gorgeous too but when i lived in the village i love to wake up in the morning and look outside and watch the city wake up watch just another at the down the street jugband style and their group can be seen regularly in flemington and lambertville in doylestown areas at coffee houses festivals farmers markets and taverns so the evening is just getting set up with these guys here but as you  here he says this is happy improv we're here at the usually the four savvy of every month sometimes in december we have to come on a little bit early because we wouldn't want to do that holiday that happens we are all volunteer so you kind of see some of us kind of come and go on and walk in and change places and stuff so if you are so inspired that you just love this music and you love what you're hearing and for two dollars or really one if you're a member of the arts council you know you can come here and get this great fun and ok we're always delighted with the acts that john irving our booking agent does so john thank you very much for finding all these different acts and i'm not going to nec likened to either candace or stage manager and you see him kind of come in and out and he has like the little cards to kind of help us know how the different acts like to have their stuff set up so between john and can't they have been doing a marvelous job just finding these wonderful acts in being able to book them so i will give it myself a little bit of credit the new cafe improv website you must really go out to that and enjoy it because it is brand new as of january i kind of reach my point i said we have to have a new way so that isn't my responsibility me talking to i this this is a song you know that they said as we came on board we do a lot of old fashioned jump in is it this is by a very well known judge in the this is by that famous jug band the rolling this instrument works can you tell us just a little bit i'm so entranced by how this was working to get me yeah this is one of the most simplest things you can make you just take a washtub like you put a keg of beer in right you turn it upside down to drill a hole you put eyeball you tie asked right here we go the thing with chuck pans is we people found things to play in the barn right so they found this they found the saw they found anything that they could bang on or make into a sound and that's what  band music is all about people it's about finding stuff and make good music out of stuff that no one would think of making music out of and that's what they used to do because that's all that they had so there we go
