SHOW COMMENTS from Dan Miller

Good good fun!! We haven't been playing out a lot recently so each gig has
that crapshoot style. It's amazing what I can forget after even a weeklong break.
My muscle, head-cut-off memory is not what it should be. However, at this show
we all seemed to remember that we're a band. Sarah kicks off the night with a
spirited rendition of the Venue Songs Libretto. Fresh off her national book tour,
her pipes in fine form, she brings the first female perspective to what has
previously been a men's only narration. Great Job- Sarah!!

After a short "where did I leave that cup of coffee" break the band returns. It
seems that the Stone Pony wishes it were an outdoors venue. Our last gig there
in 2004 was highlighted by a bag-covered trashcan in front of the stage that
collected the rainwater pouring in from the leaky roof. This time the emphasis
was on fresh air as the back of the club was laid open to allow large amounts
of salty and chilly sea air to freeze those standing in the back. I'm thinking about
roasting marshmallows for the band's next camping trip out to the Jersey Shore.

Beyond the badge earning conditions, this was a great show. A kind of twisted
set list that contains the usual favorites as well as some special guest songs like
Destination Moon, Absolutely Bill's Mood, and End of the Tour. I'll try to get a
sample up before too long - check it out, this one was a keeper.
