T'was a fun night all around. The lads and I tried to rehearse beforhand, but I'm afraid a LOT of improvising went on during the two sets. Grit's dad joined in on bones, and decided to entertain the crowd (and embarrass Grit) with a heartfelt testimonial to how proud he is of his son...ending with a fatherly kiss on the top of Grit's little noggin! One thing happened that was a first for me. At the end of the first set we moved from the "lower stage" to the high riser, in order to be seen better. We simply didn't count on the place being jammed...which was a treat.

Yours truly made his share of mistakes...including killing the heroine off (In Banks of the Ohio) BEFORE asking her Mother's permission to take her out!

Anyway, thanks to the Mudcatters who joined the throng. I had a great time.
