-Greg was in great spirits, and talkative early. He mentioned that
Goodwill and Slow Food were requests, then went on to tell a story
about the writing of Slow Food with Garrison Keillor for A Prarie Home
Companion, complete with a spot-on impression.
-Before Oily Boys, Greg spoke of Thomas Jefferson, and lamented on
our current president.
-Pray is By Merle Haggard from The Bluegrass Sessions.
-Before He Reached Down, Greg talked about living in Kansas City
with Iris, and how this song was inspired by a sermon based on the
story of the good sameritan, which Greg said was his favorite in the
Bible.
-He sang Rexroth's Daughter as Poet's Daughter.
-The rest of the set was well-played, with an especially hot Samson.
