> David gave me a shout as Zak Brown was on his cooking show at Turner. He was on the list plus one, so, time to head to Smith's and hang with Dillon. We got there around 10:15 and I was amazed at all the cars across the street! I had no idea where all these people could be. As we hit the back of Smith's, I saw Jimbo. The people were at Smith's! We had to fight thru the crowd to get upstairs, where it was wall to wall. It was as crowded as I can remember. Tim Brantley was just getting on stage. I plugged in and got the last 4 songs of the 30 minute set. During the 39 minute changeover, we hung in the back getting ready for Zak.

> We took our customary spot as Dillon's bodyguards, best view of the front row! It was my first time seeing Zak's band. See Jeff Frank, there are more than the 3-4 bands you go to see! Zak plays an acoustic guitar mostly. Along with a bass, drums, there is also a fiddle. The crowd was definately here to see this band! I am not sure of the titles, perhaps someone can lend a hand with any corrections. Every Little Bit came after Toes in the Water. His big hit, Chicken Fried Rice, was in the #6 spot. The bass player was credited with writing many of the songs. Things got a bit interesting as Dennis, from the band J Hollow, joined the boys on saxaphone. It was a bit Dave Matthewsesque with the Sax and Fiddle trading licks.

> They did a few nice covers including Devil Went Down to Georgia, Into the Mystic, and the Bill Withers' staple, Use Me. Haven't seen that one since the killer 2nd set at Portsmouth on 8/5/2005, (Thin Air (Smells Like Mississippi) > Bear's Gone Fishin', Climb To Safety, Good People, Sleepy Monkey > Maggot Brain > Chilly Water > Drums > Use Me, Chilly Water, This Part Of Town, Henry Parsons Died). They also covered Ray Montagne's Jolene. By the time the set had ended, they played a straight set of 2 hours and 15 minutes. The crowd did not really thin out till near the end. Great seeing Pete in the house as always. David introduced me to Zak after the show. Also got to meet his Dad. And of course it was great to meet the one and only T-Bird!
