“Bart’s, pulling my plaid shirt out of my pants at the same time. It was going to look bad coming to my son’s recital dressed like a wino, but I figured it was better than looking like I just pissed myself.
St. Bart’s is this old, huge Catholic church with high arches and fantastic stained-glass windows and little concrete statues of saints all down the side where the devotional candles are. In the middle are these long rows of pews, and from my distorted and half-crazed perspective it looked li...ke the pews went on forever. Up front, where the priest did his hocus-pocus, they had cleared things away, and there was a band of students and some older guys, one of whom, Joe, was Ace’s music teacher in school. Everything was a great blur to me, and I stood in the back for a few seconds trying to get my focus right, to see if I could spot Ace in the band.
When I finally was able to see through the musty, half-yellow light, I saw that Ace wasn’t up there, and of course I then went into a deeper panic thinking that his group had already played.MoreLess
