No one came

Jive Market was asked a few months back to devote our time and music to a charity music festival to benefit the Northwest Arkansas Mid-Wives Association. Being the unselfish bunch that we are, we agreed to participate, and showed up promptly last Saturday for the grand event. As we pulled up to the gate, a tumbleweed bounced across the road in front of my truck. We drove across empty fields to unload our equipment at the stage, and heard a band playing in the barn. We parked and entered the barn to join the fun. When we passed through the door, the population doubled instantly.....one band onstage and one band watching them. No one else was there. Eventually a group af about 10 people showed up, but they were the ones who had organized the event, so they didn't really count. We set up our equipment on the tiny stage and started to play with the other band for an audience. We kicked butt, and we had fun, and so did everyone who came. It was weird.......
