We arrived in Elkridge, where we were staying, around 6:30. The weather was a bit of a concern, but it ended up not being a problem. After a quick change, we headed off to the Festival. When we arrived we were greeted by Chris T, Zard, and Cricket. They were a little surprised to see us ( you mean Rochester and Maryland aren't that close???) :) I have heard alot about Eddie From Ohio, but I had never seen them before. Now I know what all the fuss is about!! They were really fabulous, and we are now the proud owners of their live CD. I encourage anyone who has not seen them to do so if the opportunity presents itself! Jo, Alt Jen and her Chris arrived just as EFO were finishing up. They brought with them our "Murray's People" T-shirts. In honor of Murray's birthday we made t-shirts with our favorite pics of him on them. They were pretty funny! Moxy came on around 9:15. They opened with I understand. That led into BJ and Jockey. I'm not sure how, but the subject of film projector's came up at this point, and Jian did an impression of what they used to sound like (this struck me as very funny, because I remember them very well). Next up was Horesshoes, followed by Boss which was interrupted by someone walking in front of the stage in a "half crouch" that did not go unnoticed by the guys. Jian immediately did his impression of what it looks like to them. Very funny!! They were able to finish up Boss, and then Mike disappeared, so we knew Spiderman was about to make an appearance. There weren't many places for him to jump from, so he improvised and used the steps and went in the crowd. Spidy was followed by Greatest Man in America ( a personal favorite). When I saw the hats go on I assumed that Boo Time was next. I guess I should know by now that I can't predict what they are going to do, because it wasn't Boo Time at all, it was Minnie the Moocher. A very fun song, with clever lyrics that showcase Mike's talent for improv, and the band's ability to scat!!. This was followed by Get in the Car, Kid's song, Message (a capella), a funny bit on Olestra, Michigan Militia, Johnny Saucep'n, KOS/GE&H, and Love Potion medley. The encores were Author's, and Lou Reed made an appearance with Walk on the Wild Side. The guys thought they were done at this point. Well, not so fast. We had other plans. We were able to talk the announcer ( I don't know his name), into bringing Moxy back out one more time, so we could serenade Murray with " Happy Birthday". I also got to present him with flowers, WHOHOOOOOO!!!!. Murray later commented he felt like the prom queen. This was a very good show, and well worth the trip down. On my scale of Budgie's this show rates a 3 1/4!!!! Now it's off to NYC!!! Moe :) Here's the set list: I Understand BJ Jockey Horseshoes Boss Spidy GMIA Minnie River Car Kids Message (a capella) Michy Johnny KOS GE&H (short version) Love Potion Encore 1: Authors Encore 2: Walk on the wild side Closed with: Happy Birthday Murray! ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #42 *******************************************
