Aaron Phillips reunited with the Greens for holiday show

The Greens played a festive show at 6 Pence Pub last evening, on a Thanksgiving eve brisk, cold evening. Aaron Phillips, in for the holiday from California, brought along his saxophone and flute and his great musical skills and all-around positive vibes and energy. The Greens showed their versatility dipping back into that "era" and played many songs designed to showcase the sax and flute work. Beekeeper, Part 2, High Country Blues, Pyschedelic Sky, Flying Solo, Heavy Mentals, All over everywhere. There was an inspired Led Zeppelin tribute mini-set about 3/4 of the way through the show. When the 4 hour show was over, the crowd "called out for more." Its nice to have a show only another day away, to pick up a few of the frenzied requests flying around there at the end. Country Maestro was particularly inspired, especially the wild dancing that induces. The Greens skillfully interlaced newer songs, giving Aaron some breaks, and as always displaying their versatility in styles, tempos, solos, etc. A good crowd came out, some of what you'd expect- folks in for the holidays, the "regulars" gathering around too. I expect it will be a combination Friday night of many returnees from last night, as well as some others who are ready to get out on the town, after family/ holiday events, and the WVU afternoon game Friday.
