Jaime and I enjoyed an evening of Hank Williams tunes care of Mr. Stone Gossard (he's in a little band called Pearl Jam) and many supporting musicians. I must say, having never been there, the High Dive, in Fremont, is a nice little club. The bartenders were super friendly, even when it busy. Hank would have been proud - who knew Stone had such a country side to him. He was also sporting a cowboy hat and a big ole' country beard. He opened with a Janis Joplin tune, and finished with "I'm so lonesome I could cry." Excellent Stuff.
Geoff's highlights of the evening - the mini corndogs, the jovial atmosphere, and my favorite rhythm guitarist playing country music
Jaime's highlights of the evening - turning to Geoff and saying "hey, there's that other guitar player from that band you like..." Mr. Mike McCready.
But surely the greatest moment of the evening was the return of the sweaty, burly, longshoreman! (see notes from the Radio Nationals show) Thank god we had WAY more space tonight!
