A truly eccentric evening in Olde Towne
Love that place – Old Town Battle Grounds that is – and we are glad to keep doing battle with the Odwalla machine as it cools the juices the sales of which underpin the venue that kindly hosted us. And fed us free food and beers until we were frankly chagrined. This evening marked the unveiling of many new things: equipment, tunes, musicians, instruments. Ed played piano and was temporarily slain midsong by a cutting critic barely out of diapers. A new patchwork PA threw our voices and guitars around the room most effectively. Special guest Eccentric Keith Picone jammed on percussion and harmonious additional vocals, and kept us steady when we needed him – THANKS KEITH! And thanks to our friends who came rather ridiculously far to hear:

Twenty-seven songs. Two and a half crazy hours. Whew.
The list looks about right to me, except I think we skipped Alison as our time drew shorter. Thanks for giving Our Own Holiday a proper debut – not so hard when we keep our eyes and ears open!
Right you are. I remember now – I was kinda eager to pass on that one. I have adjusted the blog accordingly. Just like 1984 – it’s as if Alison never existed on that list. Gone….
…solid gone. Alison who? Never heard of the broad.
