Colleen & I had dinner at Smokin9 Als BBQ, big all the meat you could get sandwiches, sweet potato fries and really good coleslaw with the right amount of black pepper. Beer by Blue Point. You can not eat this stuff all the time. It was great to meet some of you! After asking women at previous shows, 3Are you Janet?2, I was determined to connect this time. My Last Fare Limousine Service 3Are You Janet?2 sign did the trick. I didn9t have to accost any more women with the classic come-on line 3Are you Janet?2 I just stood with the sign like a driver at the airport. My wife was happy that I didn9t approach any women, though she refused to stand next to me. See, I don9t need no stinkin9 button. Richard played three guitars. Most notably and often the beautiful Taylor T5 electric that he used last spring. And Gibson Dreadnaught, and Martin Auditorium style acoustics. For the GuitarGeeks I9ve noted the capo position as best as I could tell. We had very good seats with some lurker pals, but were not where Janet and family sat. It truly was an all Cinelli front row, to borrow a motor racing term. Could she have been any closer?! :) Not as a member of the audience. Ha! Fishing, electric capo3 Deportees, Gibson capo3 Courier, electric capo3 Che Guevara T-shirt, electric, capo5 - mesmerizing Hazel9s House, Martin capo2 He remarked that Hazel9s house is for sale; Century 21, Sparta NJ. After the show I asked if Hazel is her real name, he said yes, the whole song is true; nothing made-up. Hazel is 98 years old. Juggler Out in Traffic, Gibson capo3 New song, got a warm reception. The protagonist is a street juggler performing for tips and sings of the fleeting relationships we have amongst us strangers, our brief encounters as we hustle and bustle along our comings and goings, and longing for connection. Speaking of which, it was very nice to meet Janet and Chris, finally. Gene, thanks to his broken arm, and Greg. Kenworth of My Dreams, Gibson capo3 Reunion Hill, electric capo5 No pick on this one as he shook the tone out of the Taylor, nicely done. Set 2 Waist Deep in the Big Muddy, Martin capo2 Senor, electric capo2 Great voice, nice guitar, a highlight of the show for me. Just very well done. I must confess that I have not heard other versions, but it would be hard to better this one So Says the Whippoorwill, Gibson capo6 Spoke of the couple who got engaged at the park. I always took the change9 as dying, not getting married. Then again Next Best Western, electric capo5 Woodstock riff - 3I wanna9 play this guitar all night long2 3Wait till you hear this.2 Fenario, Martin capo4 Again, outstanding playing. I9ve said, 3Outstanding2 before, can9t help it. True by any measure. Just when you think you know what note is next, Richard alters it ever so slightly, throwing in minute changes in picking. Shindell9s voice and guitar resonated as one here. Are You Happy Now, Gibson capo4 Big strum and voice. A crowd favorite, still. Last Fare, Gibson capo2 Richard again explained that they are DIFFERENT couples. So all you peoples who think they9re the same couple must do something, or forever think whatever Transit, Gibson capo2 There Goes Mavis, electric capo2 No pick, very well played, alternating bass along with single note flourishes that mimicked lyrics, all while driving the percussive bossa nova? rhythm. Fantastic guitar playing. Well sung too. A song that can transport. And this with the Taylor was perhaps the best solo performance yet. Encore: Sitting on Top of the World, electric, capo2, no pick For the woman who thought Mavis was 3bluesie2. Arrowhead, electric capo2 One of my favorite Shindell songs and the one that made me search him out after hearing it on FUV for the first time. But man, did he really struggle through it tonight. Missed a whole verse. Not a fitting end to a good show, but the crowd didn't care. He should have followed with something. Summer Wind perhaps, it is August and everything after.
