> Hey Y'All,

> It sure is great to be back in my neck of the woods hangin' with the Home Team! I did have a great time hangin' with several friends up in the midwest for the short run the beginning of the month. After picking up Charles and Mindy at Hartsfield in Atlanta, we migrated down to Columbus. The rain sucked on the ride down. We made it to Columbus by 5:00 and pulled up to Cannon's Brew Pub and found a parking spot right in front. Bohannon arrived just as we got there. The stout there is might tasty. The food was also good. BC, Derrick, and Brut showed up, as well as Carrington with his new friends. We headed over to the venue at about 6:30 and ran into Kelly and Drew as soon as we stepped out of the car.

> We found our customary sweet spot on the floor and began to set up shop. Five minutes before the boys came on, we got popped and were asked to go to the back. We all scattered. Charles and I actually moved about 20 feet closer. Lights out and we were rollin' tape. Dyin' Man out of the gate is not a good choice for me. Dave rocked on Lilly, hell, he rocked on everything. We were talkin' about Let it Rock at the brew pub and got it. JB did some rap at the end of the song. The Travelin' Man had some taste of The Wheel in the jam near the end before heading into That Thang. Brut also heard a bit of a Barstool tease near the end of That Thang. I was surprised to hear Send Your Mind. Why Bayou Lena? Argh. The second set was a Neil sandwich opening with Tonight's the Night and closing with Mr. Soul. In between we hit a few bumps in the road. The jam out of Greta picked up a bit and then Dave took over. Stop/Go belongs to him! After the jam where they become a bit detached, they went back into the theme before settling into Papa's Home. One of my favorites for sure. George busted a string on this one. Jack kind of snuck up on us and was a nice surprise, but why Daisy Mae. It seemed I was the only one not going gaga over this one. There really should be a law about having Bayou Lena and Daisy Mae in the same show. As it turns out, Jojo sang 5 tunes, can't recall seeing that too often. You couldn't have asked for a better encore, Heaven>Postcard! JB was late arriving on stage and that prompted Dave into saying "JB was crosschecked by the Cottonmouth's Goaltender".
> I thought it was strange that JB did not sing until the 5th song of the second set. Throw in the last 2 songs of the 1st set and he went 6 songs in a row without singing the lead. What's up with that?

> The nice thing about last night was hangin' FOB with the crew. The small venues are great places for shows, but I saw lots of unfamiliar faces on "our" turf. Nice to have the family together last night! Good seeing Callery back into service as well. The Mobile connection, Haney and Flynn were in the house as well. I got to use my new Smith Barney setlist pad, thanks Madison!
