Drawn In The Dark makes its debut.

This jam featured three songs from Logic And Lies, Drawn In The Dark made it's debut and as per say I floundered on some of the chords particularly the bridge before and after the instrumental part. Not that anybody noticed, it was an original song. I was dealing with a amp chord that had a short in it, cutting off some of the songs.  In fact on Switch Board Susan I was basically strumming chords to see if Tony could fix the problem.  And I did play around with the arrangements of songs, doing Everybody's Talking and then changed over to Cinnamon Girl.  And then after Logic And Lies concluded my set with Light My Fire.

The highlight was Ed Butler coming up from Riverside on his night off and serenading the jammers and four people in the bar some of his eclectic songs.  I can't think of anybody else doing Britney Spears, Talking Heads, Cyndi Lauper and Price, and Matty Groves from Fairport Convention.   Matty Groves?????? No way!.  Yes Way!  I really dig that when somebody comes out of the ordinary to do something off the cuff.  And Ed has been known to do such off the wall stuff.  For the encore, we did four songs, and ended things with Wicked Game to which Ed's soaring vocals made this song the perfect ending to this jam, although Mark stayed on stage to do Kansas City.

For myself, I couldn't top Wicked Game.
