November 27, 1994: Christian and the Lions rocked the El Mocambo


Thirty years ago today 

            On Sunday I had my daughter again for part of the day after Nancy’s parents brought her over. We went to the playground for a while and then I had to meet Nancy at Kennedy Subway Station. She was very late and there was a snowstorm but I still got downtown in time to meet Adina at the Second Cup, since she was late again anyway. We went to the El Mocambo. Steve Lowe came a little later and he actually drank, which I’d never seen him do. Then Tom Smarda, Mike Martin and Beverley arrived. Alexandra, who I met through Telepersonals showed up, as well as John de Pinto, Phil Onious, Paul and Anna. Christian and the Lions rocked the house and we got invited back. 
            Looking at this diary I’m confused because this is the first mention in my journal of us playing at the El Mocambo. But the video I have of Christian and the Lions at the Elmo has Arjan on bass. If Beverley was playing bass on this night then we must have played the Elmo at an earlier date as well. Unless Beverley just came to hear us and see if she wanted to be in the band. I don’t know.
