The Shack
The humble Band Shack
|
|
In the
beginning, KD, the Godfather of the Jam, created the
"Shack". And he said, "Let there be loud music and liquid
refreshment".
And it came to pass. And the bands that gathered there prospered
and multiplied.
Well, their souls prospered and the equipment certainly
multiplied.
So KD said to the assembled musicians, "Let us build
a larger temple. Let it be in the spirit of the original,
but let it be grander in scale and of a more sturdy construction.
And let it be environmentally friendly."
So the assembled
multitude gathered bales of flax straw and constructed a
building 40 cubits by 60 cubits, complete with stage and
bar. And they saw that it was good. And they marvelled at the
thought that a group of musicians could create such an edifice.

Flax straw bales

Corners are important.
|
Rebar help holds it all together
|
A thick coat of stucco, some wood trim which we milled from
old hydro poles
|
|
|
And it was christened,
"La Cantina".
Interior also finished in stucco and the stage is always ready - just
plug in a guitar and flip a switch.
|
Sound board and bar - what more could
one want?

the groups
of friends who spent many an evenning in in totally self-indulgent
jamming and polite conversation at La Cantina
