Undertow Terry O’Brien’s legendary column... social satire, shameless plugs — and general self-indulgence I’ve got to type fast this week so I hope you’re all quick readers. If you’re not, just do your best to keep up. Why do I have to type fast, you might ask? Shut up and I’ll tell you, I might answer. It’s because, as of Sunday, August 21 at 11:46am (the time of this writing), I am about three hours away from starting day 10 of a 12-day stretch of singing every day and I need to nap for at least two of those hours, which leaves me at one hour to produce this weekly gem which, hard to believe, usually takes three or four. Hence, quick typing. By the time you read this I will have played Exit Zero, Exit Zero, Rusty Nail, Ferry Station, Ferry Station, Ferry Station (twice), Owen’s Pub, Exit Zero, Exit Zero (twice), Ferry Station and Stone Harbor water tower. (My throat hurts just writing that.) But, thanks to my excellent bandmates, Jerry Kolber and Cathrine O’Brien, I was able to keep some tread on the tires and navigate my way through some rocky shoals. I’d thank Dave Hughes, too, but he doesn’t sing, so screw the guy. Ok, that was mean. Thanks to Dave, too, for being an awesome guitarist and good dude. (Of course, it could still fall apart before this goes to press, but I have faith in my ability to use my voice judiciously and/or numb it with enough Tito’s to get through a gig. I may have developed a drinking problem in the last 12 days, but that’s for another column.) A couple of those gigs were at the BIG WEDNESDAY hullabaloo at Ferry Park. Legacy prowled the main stage and played a raft of top 40 hits from the last 30 years while the Terry O’Brien Trio played the pre-and- post-game shows at Ferry Station. We all had ourselves a day. The final Big Wednesday is the 31st with Hunkajunk, a retro funk soul band out of Philly on the main stage, with Gordon Vincent and Blue Street playing preand-post, respectively. Hard to believe we’re already saying goodbye to summer ’22, feels like it just started. Come see it out with a bang at Ferry Park and a day’s worth of great music. While bouncing between singing and emceeing, I had the good fortune of meeting Mike and Maureen Gallagher, long-time fans of the column, who continued a disturbing trend of people coming up to me and saying nice things. I’m not used to that. Regardless, it was nice meeting both of them. Maureen works at Hawk Haven Winery and liked my joke about not running through their sprinklers because my inner child is dead. Good to know my psychic pain amuses her. Sicko. (Hope to see you next week!) It was on this same hot and humid Wednesday that I was imparted a valuable piece of wisdom from an unlikely source; Sun, Mon & Thursday Lunch 11:30 - 4:30 pm Dinner 4:30 - 8:00 pm Bar Until.....
