A couple of other things - the concert was sold out. It was that it was a good singing crowd, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly. Like I mentioned, the only non-Fielding I knew there was Deb, although a couple of faces looked familiar. I felt like I was sitting among friends.

Tom had a fellow with him playing guitar and singing harmonies - Geoff ________ (Or Jeff. Can't remember his last name, and I apologise. Hopefully someone else will supply it, as well as the correct spelling of his first name.) Tom asked him to do his cat song. This was one of the funniest I'd heard, and was the from the viewpoint of a somewhat snarky cat lover. Started out with the fact that cats gain wait in direct proportion to their asleepness. Mentioned cats staring at things that aren't there. Mentioned that they made great hats. Other than this song, he spent the evening singing harmonies and weaving in his tasty high-note guitar playing. We could barely hear him during the first set, but the Sound Guy sorted it out by the second, longer set.

Rick's set was short. I still would love to hear a full length program. Tom invited him up to play on a couple of songs later in the evening. The rich layers of guitar work sounded great, with Tom singing and fingerpicking chords, Geoff on top with the high notes, and "Mr Bass Run Fielding" on the bottom.

The organisers of the Uncommon Coffehouse, Anne and Michael, did a fantastic job. It was a two-hour drive for me, and I'd gladly do it again.
