“How was your concert, daddy?” my son said, by way of “Good morning.”
How, indeed? It was marvelous, boyo, thank you for asking. The Stone Bridge Coffee House was packed, with a dozen more people on chairs outside on the sidewalk listening in – we came to call that group The Lions Club, after the Hope Day School Lions, the high school that I and most of them attended. They were the rowdy bunch, them. Several folks up from Oklahoma, Bruce, Susi, Chester, Shannon, Jenny. Many folks in the shop I’ve come to think of as “regulars”, people I do not know but whose faces I recognize.
Holy crap…I have fans. That’s kind of a new feeling.
So, surrounded by fans, friends and Chosen Family, it was, at least from my perspective, a terrific show. I added two new songs, “The Athens Queen”, by Stan Rogers; and “You Can Close Your Eyes”, by James Taylor. Love, love, LOVE that song. By this Friday, I hope to have at least two more, but it’s going to be a busy week so I’m not sure I’ll have the time. Definitely by the 20th, though.
Thank you to every one who came to hear me. You made the evening for me.
I’m scheduled to play again this Friday, 7:00pm – 9:00pm, with a jam session to follow.

There’s probably an extra November date in there, too, the 20th, but that’s kind of up in the air. I’ll post here when I know for sure.
