  New Years Show
I played a show last night. It went pretty well, and I felt pretty good about it for the most part. It was at our church coffee house. That was fine by me, except there were some pretty different expectations. I guess the organizer of the event thought that I was "background music." Well, you know me...

Anyway, a bunch of people were there at first. But they scheduled a dance-dance revolution tournament during my show in the other room. Half the people left, but that still left a good audience of 35 or so. I was continually asked to keep turning the volume down. So that messed up the good sound levels we had going on. Ultimately, the show went fine. Definitely felt like one of our best shows.

1. Reconcilliation (maiden voyage)
2. Falling (after face-lift from hell)
3. Rabbit Byrd (maiden voyage)
4. Dear Sister
5. Moon River (took a cue from Dan Miloch on this one)
6. Life After...

Matt's set

7. Come Back To Me (Me on banjo)
8. Burn These Hills
9. Bleeding Red, White and Blue

10. Lunita (me on banjo/voice, Matt on guitar/bgvs)
 
Comments:
Why do you think people like Miloch's Moon River?
 
I think people (freshman girls) really like Dan's style (sexy vocals) and dig the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's (tacky, sentimental crap). Seriously though, it's a really well-crafted song. Most guitar players/songwriters won't/can't string together chords and a melody like that. Henry Mancini is a man among boys when it comes to songwriting. That song is a homerun all the way, if you ask me.
 
I concur.
