Here’s what we played on Saturday, December 6, 2008 at the Home Grown Coffee House in Accokeek, Maryland. We had a great time playing, though our voices were all a little raw after a long day that included trying to get an extra practice in earlier in the day to make sure our epic and rather pointlessly elaborate (but fun!) arrangement of “Tribute” worked out. But thanks to all the volunteers there who always make the Coffee House a fantastic experience for the musicians who play there, with a special shout out to Ryan Jerving’s kinfolk: Joe, Michelle, and Colin Buckingham.
And thanks in particular to Alex Naar who should get some kind of medal for his work in doing the sound for a band that requires mic’ing various combinations of washtub bass, fiddle, washboard, two guitars, two ukuleles, autoharp, jug, and a strange Turkish banjo-mandolin-bedpan thing.
