cactopussy

hey! we had a great turnout for the show on friday, raised a lot of funds for the kids and gave tyler, who left hiroshima the next morning, a (hopefully) worthy sending off.

as for me...i did two sets, which - despite some technical/competence issues - went reasonably well. i didn't want to bore people who'd been at the organ-za show last month, so i played a lot of different stuff, including a brand new song that i'm very excited about - i'm going to record it in the near future and will make it available here as soon as it's done. watch this space!

big big thanks to the folks at jimo for letting us put on the show, laura graham for putting it all together, michael bacon for the poster design/use of his cactopus character and an extra big big big thanks to everyone that came.

here are my setlists - along with links to where you can download the original versions (as well as some helpful reminders for certain songs):
