After the After Christmas Party

Happy New Year! Coch's Corner was pretty full for the event. Optimistically, I'd say the evening was a 2/3 full glass of beer. The Octoberists were up first. We provided quite the challenge to mic as all our instruments were either feeding back or too quiet to rise above the din of the bar. We played very well but didn't sound great as a loud bar isn't our natural habitat. We'll have to get a gig at a coffee shop, the art gallery or the library again.




Woody Sims played well this night. We only messed up one song which Tom promptly scratched from the line-up permanently. Here he is with his stern face:



Terrance was in fine form with his beautiful guitars and tasteful effects:



John belted out the tunes with his powerful voice (and powerful shirt - haha):



Scotty kept the bottom solidly under us with some sweet grooves:



And I hung on for the ride with some meedeelee-meedeelies:



The crowd was into it:


We even had a semi-reunion of the Road Rockets:




Here they are jamming on John's Original "Jimmy":




Overall a great night. Thanks to family and friends for coming out. Thanks to Rob for the pics.
