It is the official Larry Brent
Birthday Show, mark it because he won't get
another one.
We decided to do an acoustic
evening of Brentisms.
Larry M. Set up the room
beautifully for when we got there. It was really
comfortable playing so called acoustic.
I'll try not to get too
qualitative about the playing in these sections,
I'll leave that up to the comment section.
No guests what-so-ever. Dennis
was barely there but did join during the Bertha
in usually Dennis style of joining in about one
verse from the end of the song. Brotman wasn't
even in the room.
It made the whole evening much
more intimate than we usually are. Probably
because Larry & Scott were right there.
The drums sounded really good
you could hear and enjoy them both.
Uncle John's a bit rough just
from the perspective of getting used to it all
but it was in no way bad.
Truckin' was pretty cool, also
a bit rough.
Except for a few good moments
in Truckin', I don't think we achieved that good
of an acoustic sound and groove until Dark Hollow
and equaled by the Box of Rain. I mean we made it
through El Paso but I want someone to say it was
comfortable and mean it.
Even the Direwolf wasn't as
comfortable as last week's.
Birdsong was pretty cool, it
wasn't that comfortable so I think we just let it
go further and further out, but not out of
control. I got to give us credit for a pretty
cool Birdsong.
Ripple Brokedown was nothing
that good.
The set called for a Good
Night Irene that was preempted by the Memphis
Trio.
Sicilian well done 1/2
sausage, 1/2 mushroom. Good pizza!!!
Super Slick 40 Chicken Rolls
w/ dipping sauce. Everyone loved them but the we
a few left over.
Garlic knots, bigger and drier
than usual but were above average in the end.
Which means no one touches this garlic knots.
Larry B' ran for desserts.
Combo Drakes and Hostess assortment. Drakes had
the new found imitation Hostess Cupcake called
something like a Frosted Iced Cupcake. Well
anyway although they were smaller they were
better than the hostess. Not the be undone,
Hostess came up with an imitation yodel that now
tops the original. It had a thick and crispy
coating that was compared To a dove bar. I didn't
buy it.
Grape Snapples, Dr. Peppers,
Cokes for all.
Pre-jam Pork Rinds and Caramel
Corn snacks and iced cold. snapples.
It was pretty cold in the
room, Scott was hogging Kevy's heater but Johnny
figured out the warehouse to studio heating
system and it warmed up eventually.
