Day 24 Oct 18 Hot Springs Arkansas - Maxine's
Wow. Where to start with this one. Let's start by giving Maxine's it's true props as formerly the premiere brothel in Hot Springs. Hot Springs is also touted as the childhood home to Bill Clinton, and a notorious former Chicago gangster hangout. All this information led me for some reason to google Ronnie Hawkins. Everyone in Canada knows Rompin' Ronnie as the one man party transplanted from Arkansas who molded an incredible back up band for himself up here ("The Hawks"), then famously lost them to Bob Dylan as Dylan was making his infamous switch to electric music.
Our show here coincided with the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival, though this was of little consequence to us. No famous directors were at the show, but their staff photographer Tim put in some quality time taking quality pictures .
Ultimately the Maxine's show was highly uplifting, as we had been trying our damndest since Portland OR to convert new audiences to our BROOD-like ways. Thanks Kevin, Agnes, Sarah and everyone else at the new Maxine's for preparing for and promoting this show with enthusiasm. There was high anticipatory energy thanks to these guys spreading the word around. South Arkansas could now easily become a stronghold for us in the central U.S.
