Second Set
It was billed as a birthday show but Todd informed us that he was celebrating more because he'd finally paid the IRS all he owed! Todd received a couple of gifts on stage (a vest and a bottle of drink) and Mary Lou brought on stage a birthday cake during the second set.
In the first set there were once again the color co-ordinated black vests and Kasim came on for the second set with another predominately black vest whilst the others either wore Hawaii style garb or lightweight suits. After one song, Todd told Kasim to get changed so he went off stage while Todd gave us his patter of whimsical observations. Kasim came back wearing a purple shirt with a white dinner jacket! Unfortunately the jacket must have been made for a football quarter back as it swamped him, when he sat it reached his knees!
There was an extra song tonite just before Trapped. There was also an abortive start to Trapped too as Prairie made a mistake. In Jessie's spotlight segment of Synthesised he broke a guitar string just as he was getting to the climax but the other musicians covered for him admirably. Todd managed to keep his strings intact tonite.
Columbus tomorrow ....
