Drifters in hindsight

Still don't have internet at home. I know, what's my problem, right?

Sitting at Sip Cafe, my closest coffee shop.

So the first show is behind me now.

Got more people out than I expected. Luckily, its a smaller place, so my 9 or so friends (plus the patrons) actually felt like a lot more.

Without much time here to write. I will leave you with the set-list. It was nice to dig deep into the my "cannon" and pull out a few surprises. Here's what happened last night.

Set I:
1 Black Jack Mama (Townes Van Zandt)
2 Oh Lonesome Me (Don Gibson)
3 Fair Warning
4 Next Best Thing
5 I Know I Should Know Better
6 Lyin’, Hidin’, Cryin’
7 Ain’t No Grave
8 The Basement in Nashville
(song I wrote for my first trip out here in Spring of '08)
9 Running Forever
10 A Billion Odd People
11 Across the River
12 Hesitation Blues
13 Honey I Choose You
14 Since You’ve Gone
15 So Hard to Make an Easy Getaway
(rarely performed 2 year old song, I've yet to record)

I took a short break. Quenched my thirst, then went back at it.

Set II:
1 Can’t Get You Off My Mind (Hank Williams)
2 Mortality Blues
3 Eliot
4 Idle Hands
5 Suspicious Minds (Elvis)
6 Death & Texas

I had more songs planned for the 2nd set, but with my late start (I left my capo at home and had to retrieve it), these 6 songs took me to 9pm perfectly.

Alright, what's next?
