| Back to reviews | | Hey Y'All,
Tryin' to squeeze out another review. Since Larry met Fran at a Cody show and sparks flew back in the 70's, this is for you! After 12 nights without a show, I was suffering from withdrawls. I saw this on the radar just before I came home and was looking forward to a night at Smith's Olde Bar. I cruised down to the Ted for the Braves game during the day. It was not looking good as Hudson got shelled for 5 runs on 10 hits the first 2 innings. What a comeback as the Bravos took the rubber game 9-8!
Chris and I cooked up some fresh Brussells Sprouts, Wild Rice, and some tasty chicken wings. I then buzzed down there at about 8:45. I set up in the sweet spot about 20 feet from stage. The opener was Anna Kramer and the Cause. She is a local musician that I have not seen before tonight. Her band is a 3 piece, Anna on guitar, a bass, and a drummer. Her proud Dad was in the audience. She played for about 40 minutes. She covered Buck Owens' Act Naturally and Merle Haggard's Bottle Let Me Down. I talked BC into stopping by with Terry for part of the set.
After a brief intermission, Kirchen hit the stage with his 3 piece band. It was a small crowd for the school night. He opened with a few new ones. The sound of that Telecaster was oh so sweet! After the first 4, it was time for the old truckdriver rockabilly! He dug into his past Commander Cody reportoire with Lookin' at the World Through a Windshield, followed by . And the classic Down to Seeds and Stems was very well received. Haven't heard that since I saw George in Cleveland in the spring. He mentioned seeing Dylan at Newport in '65 and covered Times are a Changin'. I guess the highlight was the set closer, Hot Rod Lincoln as we heard the Telecaster unwind yet again! This version was almost 12 minutes, but what made it special, was the 30 plus partial covers of so many well known tunes, segued into one long jam.

TODAY'S FEATURED HUMOR:
A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen
mask over his mouth and nose, still heavily sedated from a
difficult four hour, surgical procedure. A young student nurse appears to give him a partial sponge bath.
Nurse", he mumbles, from behind the mask. "Are my testicles black?"
Embarrassed, the young nurse replies "I don't know, Sir. I'm only
here to wash your upper body and feet."
He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, are my testicles black?"
Concerned that he may elevate his vitals from worry about his
testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and sheepishly pulls
back the covers.
She raises his gown, holds his penis in one hand and his
testicles in the other, lifting and moving them around.
Then, she takes a close look and says, "There's nothing wrong
with them, Sir !!"
The man pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and says very
slowly,
"Thank you very much. That was
wonderful, but listen
very, very closely......
A r e - m y - t e s t - r e s u l t s

MORE FEATURED HUMOR(Thanks Dan:
Stevie Wonder and Tiger Woods are in a bar. Tiger
turns to Stevie and says, "How's the singing career
going?"
Stevie replies, "Not too bad. How's the golf?"
Woods replies, "Not too bad, I've had some problems
with my swing, but I think I've got that right now."
Stevie says, "I always find that when my swing goes
wrong, I need to stop playing for a while and not
think about it. Then, the next time I play, it seems
to be all right."
Tiger says, "You play GOLF?"
Stevie says, "Yes, I've been playing for years".
Tiger says, "But -- you're blind! How can you play
golf if you can't see?"
Stevie Wonder replies, "Well, I get my caddy to
stand in the middle of the fairway and call to me. I
listen for the sound of his voice and play the ball
towards him. Then, when I get to where the ball
lands, the caddy moves to the green or farther
down the fairway and again I play the ball
towards his voice."
"But, how do you putt?" asks Tiger
"Well", says Stevie, "I get my caddy to lean down in
front of the hole and call to me with his head on
the ground and I just play the ball towards his voice."
Tiger asks, "What's your handicap?"
Stevie says, "Well, actually -- I'm a scratch golfer."
Woods, incredulous, says to Stevie, "We've got to
play a round sometime."
Wonder replies, "Well, people don't take me
seriously, so I only play for money, and never play
for less than $10,000 a hole. That a problem?"
Woods thinks about it and says, "OK, I'm game for
that. $10,000 a hole is fine with me. When would you
like to play?"
Stevie says, "Pick a night".
