I was once again blessed with the chance to play a nice long set in front of a beautifully attentive and appreciating audience in Cambridge Friday night.
Out of the Blue is a small art gallery that hosts live music, and it's a great combination. Three or four other acts played that night, all of them spectacular. All The Animals, Brief Awakening, and my friends The Grass Gypsys. Here's my set:

That was my set. This was Grass Gypsys' CD re-release party for their first album "Legends, Myths & Fairytales", and they played a real special set with guests, and Justin playing his long lost electric!
Gary Backstrom Band were great too; turns out I kinda know Gary & didn't realize it .. I missed the Humblebee set though.
A lot of great players & writers in this circle of folks. Look for more dates with the Grass Gypsys later this spring & summer.
I was just afforded a nice long set in front of a beautifully attentive and appreciating audience in Cambridge Friday night. Out of the Blue is a small art gallery that hosts live music, and it's a great combination. I wish I'd recorded it, thought it was one of those sets. Maybe just better than par, even.

The ~VISIT~ CD continues to be in a state of post-release; that is, it's been released and continues to exist as such. Obtain your ~VISIT~ via paypal right here at the link above and to the right a bit; ten bucks dude.
I played using an actual setlist at my last solo Vintage gig, and saved the lists, thinking I'd actually post them here. But then, it's like, fifty songs or something and I didn't feel like typing all of it.
Maybe I still will though. Or maybe I'll just not post the set list, and pretend that the list of what I played at Vintage is highly sought, and itself a vintage setlist.. Hardy har.
I'd better just post it. I did a handful of originals and generally enjoyed the gig. It really helped to have planned it out, and made my new quest to go without a music stand very much more plausible.
Okay so I only posted this so I could use the word "plausible", which, admit it, is awesome.
I heard some comedian talk about this once, and it's really true. When you buy the hot dogs, you choose between a package of ten, and a package of eight. And which do you get? I'll tell you which. You buy the 10 pack.
Then you find out, in the bread aisle, that you can't buy hot dog rolls in packages of 10. Only 6, 8 & 12.
