9/19/98 - Red Rooster - Aberdeen, S.D.

Set:

| Happy Book of Smiles | She Makes Me Happy | Marmalade | Near Me | Sweet Nothings | Potatoes & Cream [tonyLkollman] | Chambermaid | Pay My Bills For Me |




This night wasn't an actual Junebug show, per se. Anthony and I both attended one of many regular open mic nights at the Red Rooster Coffee House. While there were a number of patrons in the Coffee House, the open mic participation was a bit sparse. Anthony and I decided we should play some Junebug tunes, even though we hadn't played together for a few months. We took the stage and played some of our old songs together as well as pieces from our own respective solo repertoires. I performed "Potatoes & Cream" and "Chambermaid" by myself and Anthony ended the night with an almost twenty minute performance of "Pay My Bills For Me."

This night was also significant to me at the time, since I had invited a girl. Because, you know, dudes with guitars impress the ladies. Or something like that. As it turned out, she and I began dating that night and we did for a few months. I guess the guitar worked, at least for a little while.
