Thanks so much to all of you who came out to join us for the David Mead concert this fall. It was a beautiful evening and we had so much fun. David played many of our favorites, and was even kind enough to extend the concert for a few more songs after Bob was heckling from the kitchen area. (I'm glad he did as Queensboro Bridge is one of my favorites too).

It was extra nice to have the addition of Bill DeMain to double the guitar power and provide backing harmonies. The backing chorus on Poop and Pee was especially effective. You had to be there. (Seriously, Poop and Pee is one of the tracks for an upcoming children's album. As the grandma of an adorable toddler, I can tell you they are all about poop and pee).

Another fine addition to the lineup was Joe Nemec, who drove in with his brother Adam from Chicago. Joe added a nice solid bass line on several songs of the evening. Everything is better with a firm foundation.

Thanks to Bill, we all know that it's not acceptable to wear white seersucker suits after Labor Day. We are all relieved that he did not fall into that fashion faux pas trap.

I apologize for not getting the setlist (below) and the recap up online sooner, but as it happens, the concert this year coincided with the prime time for grape picking. In the week before the concert we picked about a ton of grapes, and in the three days following the show we picked and processed about two tons. We got all of the picking completed one full day before the frost hit; very good timing.
