NOTES:

Julie really needed this turnout tonight and she got it with the return of Cathy Hart and Lorie Parker back on stage for tonight's showcase.  All the gang was there, Greg Sage, Luther Parker, Ann who bought pizza and gave a few slices to me.  Tim and George came over from Rumors to check out a half hour of songs and thankfully they stayed to hear my set.  Fox On The Run was probably the most bluegrass country sounding of all the times I played it.  For What Its Worth rocked a bit more than usual and of course I was dicking around with Let's Work Together.  Since nobody paid much attention, I threw in a humorous lyric about A good turbo fan, keeps me cool cool cool.  And got no reaction.  I was pressed for time, so Julie came up to sing Gold Dust Woman with Donna Jo playing alongside us.    After I left, Julie returned to play a few more songs with Lorie and Cathy and things concluded slightly after 10 with Sweet Home Alabama being the last song.  And of course everybody got up to scream OH CARL, to Carl Meiners, who was out doing the RAGBRAI bike ride.

Rumors, the big story was seeing Stan Hersom once again.  First time I have seen him in over 3 years.  We chatted a bit.  Terry was gracious enough to let me go ahead of Stan to play four songs before I had to run to Rumors to join Julie.  Herm was back playing drums again.  Stan played on Me And Bobby McGee before I left.  I always thought he was a terrific drummer.  Hope to see him more often too.
