That
passionate intensity we all love. |

Karin
turned in as inspired a performance as I’ve ever heard from her, |

Not
enough light by the keyboards for a good photo, but note Linford’s new beard. |
|
Susan
Enan did a great job warming up. I
bought her EP and talked to her a bit after the show. |
|
Trippy! |

I drove
through two hours of heavy traffic to get from my home in Brightwaters on
Long Island to Park Slope in Brooklyn for the show. I was upstaged by two other fans I hooked
up with after arriving: Ivan had
fought his way in from central New Jersey, and he and I were the first two
fans gathered outside the venue. Ed
drove down all the way from Pittsfield, MA in the Berkshires to catch the
show after seeing Over the Rhine for the first time in Northampton a couple
of months ago. None of us left
disappointed! |
