MIM: The Jeremy Kittel Band sports more accolades than we can mention. Winners of multiple U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Championships, six Detroit Music Awards, the World Music Award for percussion, the International Society of Bassists Jazz Competition, & multiple National Fiddle Championships combine in this band, and that's just for starters.
Jeremy's reputation was definitely deserved - this kid could play! His bag of tricks included a variety of styles: jazz, classical, Irish. And the rest of the band was very talented; this was their first show together and they sounded like they'd played together for years.
Tonight was a first for me on an ushering level: a disgruntled, annoyed guest! We have a strict no-camera policy and I was rudely confronted when I asked this woman to put hers away. Apparently she was a friend of Jeremy's and apparently she had Jeremy's permission -- but since I detest confrontation it was an uncomfortable situation. Perhaps I need a thicker skin.
But I also had a great compliment as well. I was an aisle usher this evening and helped several guests with their walkers. After the show, a bi-stander told me he appreciated how kind I was with these ladies. It was a very nice boost!!
