Griff's Landing (Part I) - 3/10/06 - Frederick, MD

A really nice evening in Frederick. Friday night and the weather was clear with temperatures in the 70s. Seemed like a lot of people were out and about.

Oddly enough, the night started out a little slow. Perhaps folks were still recovering from the work week (or Thursday night) and decided to come out later. Whatever the case, things picked up for the second half of the gig. We played quite a few new tunes that we had rehearsed, some going over better than others. "Brian Wilson," "I Want You Back," and "Mr. Jones" were definitely winners.

I got a chance to meet some new people and ended up singing a duet with a woman named Barbara who had come to several FLB gigs and had amazingly seen me play years ago with Chris Babb in downtown Frederick at a place called the Tyler Spite House. I remember the gig: Chris and I played on a balcony for no more than 10 people facing some very lovely lighted gardens hidden away in downtown Frederick. For our duet, Barbara and I traded lines on "Give Me One Reason." She had a great voice and totally killed.

One of the perks of full weekend gigs: leaving your gear at the venue and just driving up and turning on for the next night.
