## Notes

What an awesome night at TXR! Lots of love in the house. More or less everybody present was relaxed and ready to party ... it was that mellow pre-holiday vibe! I thought the setlists were great ... lots of good variety, and some really excellent surprises, such as using _Slipknot!_ to segue from _Jack-a-Roe_ to _Sweet Jane_ in the first set, or the _Norwegian Wood_ teases that popped up during _Don't Let Go_ (Thanks Lebo!).

I'm certain that my annotations include minor goofs of omission ... I wasn't always paying careful enough attention to catch all the details as they unfolded, and as far as I know now, anything that didn't make it into my notes didn't happen!

Another truly creative bit of music-making from tonight's crew occurred while Scott Padden sang Clarence Carter's _Strokin'_ over the top of the _Franklin's Tower_ groove in the middle of the second set. The crowd lapped it up, and it was obvious that the band members were having fun with it too. Nice to see people enjoy their work, eh?

Liz Baqir celebrated her 50th Birthday with a merry group of heads in the dining room, and the band made sure to acknowledge her with a performance of the _Happy Birthday song_ (and a full crowd singalong) before closing tonight's festivities with _Sugar Magnolia_. Yay! Good choice to send everyone off with a smile!
