Borders

Andy had a spirited performance at Borders in Vienna last night. It was a little shaky- coming into town after (still yet more) car trouble getting out of morgantown (flat tire(s); the jack breaking?) and running a little late. Couldn't find a pick; new microphone stands, broke his glass slide, etc. But with an attentive audience, bright lights (!), no alcohol, acoustic guitar, it was a chance for the songs, lyrics and guitar playing to take spotlight. He moved through a set list including some old favorites, in slightly different versions, and some newly penned songs of the recent ilk (one of two that have potential in the Greens line up). His new verse on Anna Nicole Smith was interesting, and his toned down couple of little tweaks for the kids in the audience were quick thinking changes. He was ready to end at least twice, but was urged to keep going, so in effect, had several encores. Good to see Danny, Jess, Lyndsey, Paul and Sara, Debbie and Terry stopped by, cause they were in the neighborhood shopping. Some people seemed to come just for this live music opportunity, so that was good. Mike Chenoweth shows up after its over.
Its been a long time since I've heard that closing song- I don't even remember if it has a name; with many many verses.

I'll see some of you in Marietta tonight; then its on to Morgantown for the Greens for Tuesday night's contest.
