After last night’s No Small Children gig, drummer Nicola B made a statement I have been waiting to hear for the past couple of decades. Remarking about the previous night’s show in Seattle at The Central Tavern, she said that they had “turned the room.”. Basically, it means that while, at first, no one paid much attention, by the last song, everyone was on board. Even dancing, she said (quite enthusiastically, I might add).

Let us just say that, like many of us, the more I know, the less I know.
