## Notes

A 3/4 reunion of T.J.Kirk, playing some of that band's material? Oh yeah! The only question in my mind when I saw the announcement for these shows was "both nights or just one", and that problem was answered by the conflict of previously purchased tickets for [yesterday's show](:2018:2018-12:2018-12-12). One is the answer. Just enough!

Andrew Gilbert posted a [review](https://www.sfcv.org/reviews/ivy-room/drummer-scott-amendola-brings-it-all-together-with-damn-skippy) of the first part of Wednesday's Ivy Room show at SFCV.

Both nights have been posted to the live music archive: [tonight](https://archive.org/details/scottamendola2018-12-13.flac16) and [yesterday](https://archive.org/details/scottamendola2018-12-12.flac16). Seems like the setlists were almost identical. Set two on the archive has labels somewhat different from what I give above; I'm probably wrong, but I'm going to leave my original notes in place until I have time to listen and compare against some sort of reference recording (James Brown! Thelonius Monk! Rahsaan Roland Kirk! TJ Kirk?).
