I have to say that it was great to see so many people there last night. Everywhere I turned I saw a friendly/familiar face. In spite of the way the evening ended, I had a good time playing with all the other artists.
Beth Patella went on first doing all original work. She dated Jim for 2 years prior.
Kelly Kancyr was next doing some originals and covers. I knoe she finished her set with "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan.
I was next doing All Things Must Pass, Dry Your Eyes, San Francisco, Ripple, and Forever Young
Rick Landino and the Criminals did Ain\'t No sunshine and a kick ass version of Rocky Raccoon. He was joined by Derf on keys and Schumacher on bongos. The line-up also contained Mike Koperwhats, Kelly Kancyr, and Marty & the Fox (Roxanne) on percussion.
Alex Foglietta went on after and did a version of the Beatles "Oh Darling"
Schumacher was next. 41, Redemption Song, some originals, I joined him for Don\'t Mess Around with Jim, Me & Julio, and another original.
Paper Chaser took the stage (Rick Landino, Sean Miller, Mike Ferrara, and Bob Ferrara) and we did 4 original tunes from back in the day.
Murder Van topped the night with 4 blaring originals and finished the set with Dancing in The Moonlight by Thin Fucking Lizzy. I joined them on guitar and vocals for that one.
All in all, Jim would have been proud.
