greens show last night

The Greens played a second night in a row last night at the 6 pence pub in Parkersburg. It was a pretty different crowd and different flow of songs. It was in the bigger room in the back, and followed (and carried over from) a 21st birthday party for the owner's daughter. A group of that age young folk partied hard and danced on occasions throughout the evening. It was a pretty sparse Greens crowd; I don't know what conflicts many usual fans might have had to keep them away. Andy introduced two new songs; having done some rehearsing during the afternoon, a rare opportunity for the Greens to be in one place two days in a row!! We'll be looking forward to further listenings of those songs; fondly remembering first listen's to many greens songs over the years, and how they later build into the set lists and CD's down the line. There were some pretty bizarre requests filtered in through the evening....... but Andy did a pretty good rendition of Blue Skies by the allman brothers after sparking the idea with two allman brothers songs early in the evening. Apocalypso ended the evening in fine fashion. Chuck could not get truckstop religion into the selections despite a valiant, if late effort. Next weekend its back to morgantown and wheeling for the greens. Andy described a double evening of open mikes in morgantown thursday, as well as working both days and having several stints of college classes to work around thursday and friday. exhausting.
