Just a quick recap of the show at the zoo last night.
It was alot of fun. We weren't sure if the weather was
going to break but as it got closer the skies cleared.
It was really great to meet Sue H and Jan, sorry we
missed you Susan. Jan kept a setlist so I am just
going to touch on what I remember. I must say this was
the biggest and rowdiest Greg show I had ever been to.

Todd Snider had us all laughing during his opening
set. I am just getting into his music so the only
songs I recognized was a story about this band from OR
who tried to play the song Louie, Louie and Sideshow
Blues.

Then Greg and Bo came out for what seemed like a quick
but wonderful set. Greg was very quiet last night
except for the story about Kelly Joe Phelps and the
porkchops while recording Further In which then he
dedicated China to him.

Greg opened with Lullabye then did Lately. Some other
highlights - I Want My Country Back, If I Had Known,
Out in the Country (my first time hearing this, loved
it), Billy From the Hills, Down at the Mill, Enough, a
song with the lyrics "your town now, it's your town
now" and he encored with Waiting on You. There may
have been more but I don't remember.

Ok so that was way longer than intended, ha! Not sure
if I will make the winery show tonight, still up in
the air about it...

Enjoy the day.
