We're planning to take part in Open Mic again with one song from the sixties, Shakin' All Over, and our namesake song, Burnt Sugar Blues, which we played at the February party. We'll be undrummed again with Mike, Russ, and me.
I thought "giglet" would perfectly describe such a short performance.
So I looked it up and found that "giglet" means "a giddy, playful girl". It's obvious we need a new definition for the word. The Urban Dictionary says it's "large quantities of something; opposite of a niblet". That's cute, too.
Jazz musicians started using the word "gig" in the 1920s for paid performances. Well, I guess the audience pays attention, and Fairfield audiences are famous for paying exquisitely conscientious attention.
Having stated for my own edification the wherefors and whereases, I therefore now declare with all due pomp and one true circumstance:
Yes, we got us a giglet!
