Fun at Perk's with Denny & Terry!!!

A week ago Friday, the Chris Talley Trio played at Perk's in Freeburg. We had an awesome crowd and so much fun! The best part of the night was when we had a Duelin' Banjos contest. Denny was nominated from the crowd, and of course then I had to pick his long-time rival, Terry, to compete against him. Denny got the inflatable guitar and Terry got the inflatable banjo.

This is how the contest works. Each person stands with their inflatable instrument next to the instrument they are representing. This meant that Denny stood in front of Bill, and Terry stood in front of me. Then we play the song Duelin' Banjos while the contestants pretend they are the ones playing. The audience does all the judging. You cannot believe how hysterically funny this was! Each one was trying to outdo the other, and since this was completely non-scripted, we (the band) had as much fun as everyone else watching to see what would unfold. Here are some pictures:

















It was a fierce competition, but Terry won! Congratulations!
