My first batch of songs played on guitar and I trying to fit in with the spirit of Halloween.  It was the first time in about a month that I played a weeknight jam

Other songs of consideration:

Killed By Death
Grim Reaper Of Love
The End
See That My Grave Is Kept Clean
Glad To See You Go
Knocking On  Heaven's Door

Well you get the picture now.

KISS meets The Phantom 2018  (Mike Lint, Ryan Paul as Starman, ? as the Reaper)

(The Reaper backing up Glen Gardner on Missing You-His long fingers actually kept a better beat than me)

Since Steve Black Wolf was sick, we didn't play Last Kiss.

Oh Death was in truncated form.  And done without guitar.  For some reason Spirit In The Sky was next. It was something I thought up on the spot.

I didn't tell anybody I was coming.  I was not sure about our situation at work, we had things to do and thank goodness I got back there to sort out a big mess before third shift came in.  Turns out one of our temps left some documents in the slitter that were not slitted and the batch they were in, was already scanned.  This season has been a cluster-phobia of student tests either not slit or the scan tracks got hacked off. A big no no in our company. Thankfully I got that sorted out before the Wicked Witch of 3rd Shift came in.  Otherwise we would have heard about it the next day.

A very small crowd tonight at Checkers but Mike Lint joined on congas.

Dave recorded it.  Julie's vocals came out great, mine didn't.

I borrowed Dave Bonham's guitar on the songs that I did play. Julie helped out and we concluded with Gold Dust Woman.  Love The One You're With made it's debut.  Not bad considering that I couldn't remember the words and trying to sing though a mask. I tried singing in a lower voice.  Three and half weeks later, I was a bit rusty but even with a small crowd and jammers I had a good time and sounded better than expected.

So did this guy.
