The M. David Hornbuckle Dixieland Space Orchestra
So things have been so busy here at Koven J. Smith dot com that I haven’t been very good about updating my loyal five or six readers on what’s been going on lately. The most exciting recent development is that I have begun playing drums for the M. David Hornbuckle Dixieland Space Orchestra, which, to explain, is an orchestra that plays spacey Dixieland versions of songs by M. David Hornbuckle. I’ve been a fan of Dave’s from back in the days that he played with the great Gainesville band PopCanon, so it’s been just fine to suddenly find myself sitting in the middle of his songs, albeit with a tuba player named Ron sitting next to me. Some enchanted evening, you will see a stranger across a crowded room, as Harrison Ford once said. Anyway, here’s a video from our debut performance at NYC’s monthly Ukelele Cabaret. It was the most wildly supportive audience I have ever played for. We played after a guy played Madonna songs on the uke. I wore a stripey shirt.
