friday night's great greens show

It was great to have the Greens back in action friday night at Bogies in Parkersburg. There was great interaction with the audience; lots of folks had been at andy's solo show the week before there at bogie's; so they got a good picture of the versatility of his performances- many many songs that are really enhanced with the band version. They got a little of a late start; so the show was over too quickly; leaving many requests "on the floor." But a good solid 2-3 set show all the same. Hope Nathan's arm didn't get over exerted. It was good to see Jan after too many weeks. Andy had a christmas party for his construction work earlier that day in Morgantown, at a bowling alley! (he talked about his "128" game he bowled). He engaged the audience quite a bit throughout with between song commentary. There was a very appreciative audience for his guitar work. At the set break, a lot of CD's were distributed (I hope he sold them, rather than giving them away!!!- the Tuck business acumen is not the sharpest)
A real kooky version of "I need money" stands out; a real wild beat. And they hadn't done the bob marley (could you be loved, etc.) for awhile. Good to see Jeff Fox out and about; I made sure he was there for "bushwacker." As he said, the patriot act (parts of it anyway) were voted down that day in congress.
Saw several folks that tend to be able to get out for live music around the holidays so that was nice. Good mix of songs from all CD's- the longer the experience goes on, the more you appreciate the breadth of songs and arrangements they've been able to genertae.
