## Notes

We arrive around 7:40 or so, snag a parking spot, then walk in to find that things are still pretty darn mellow for a show supposedly starting in less than 20 minutes. The time passes pleasantly as we hang out and chit chat with the other folks. Eventually Jason walks out alone, picks up his acoustic guitar, and almost apologetically, begins what ultimately amounts to an epic show.

Jon Hart & Bob Cogswell ran a multitrack recording, and thanks to Jon's effort, you can listen to the show by visiting the [live music archive](https://archive.org/details/JCB2014-06-02.JasonCrosbyAndFriends2014-06-02.flac16). Three cheers for Jon & Bob!
