I saw Jason Wilder recently at a Margaret Explosion gig and told him I missed his blog. For some reason it had gone dark. He told me he had switched hosts. I checked back in today and found he had made a few new entries and one was about that gig. I particularly like Jason’s photos. They are full of mystery. I grabbed the one above from Jason’s post.

Bennie, standing to Madison’s right, often sits in with Margaret Explosion on a few songs. She usually travels with at least one Brazilian percussion instrument. Here she is instructing Madison, our number one fan, on how to play the cuica. Madison already has a drum set and she just purchased an imitation P-bass. She plans to take lessons form Margaret Explosion’s bass player, Ken Frank. Someday Madison will able to sub for Ken.
