Both Pete and Maura had played solo shows as part of Christopher Street Coffeehouse's inaugural year, both of which I unfortunately missed. So this Christopher Street Coffeehouse 1st Birthday Celebration was something of a triumphant return to the venue for both Pete & Maura, but my first time there. Christopher Street Coffeehouse is in a funky West Village neighborhood, where incredibly I had no trouble finding free parking on the street, close to 7PM, which is both when free parking begins on many NYC streets, and when the open mike preceding the Kennedys began. Kennedys went on at about 8:15 PM -- Life is Large Half a Million Miles 9th Street Billy I Found a Road Breathe The Thing with Feathers Shadows with the Lonely Make It Last Chimes of Freedom Midnight Ghost Pete solo Medley -- Union Square The Bells Rang Williamsburg Bridge Union Square (reprise) Wall of Death Stand A Day in the Life (encore) The open mike was a lot of fun too, including some folk I'd either seen before or had seen before on Facebook (including Carolann Solebello, Mark Allen Berube, Meg Braun, Carolynn Messina), and some folks I'd never seen before (Fred Arcoleo, David Goldman, and series host Lyndon Harris). And I sang at the open mike too -- much to the surprise of everyone, including me -- doing "Upon the Hearth the Fire is Red," a/k/a Bilbo's Walking Song, from JRR Tolkien's "Fellowship of the Ring," for the first time since "Songs of Middle Earth" was last done in 1986 in Chicago, back in a previous lifetime, before my having moved out east to first Connecticut and then later to the Boston area.
