Boxing day

Brunch at Bob's Muffin Shop, which has been one of the ongoing pleasures of this visit.

~~~~~~~

To Borders with the wonderniece - another tradition of the season, and one of my favorites. This year's theme was Twilight. T-shirts, games, chocolate, you name it. Good times.

A spirited session with the Now Today Ensemble.

The players:
Number Six ~ lead vocal
Mr. M ~ lead vocal
Vlindinhauer ~ bass and vocal
Persephone ~ percussives
Mr. Why ~ guitar & keyboard
Sabitathica ~ guitar
L ~ thereminator

The set list:
* You can't kill rock and roll
* You can't kill rock and roll
* You can't kill rock and roll
* Free four
* Free four
* Fearless (complete with the interpolation of You'll never walk alone and crowd noises)
* You can't kill rock and roll
* Intermission, during which Persephone's famous hummingbird cake made its glorious appearance. Some of the players then took a brief walk down to the sea.
* You can't kill rock and roll
* Improvisation
* You can't kill rock and roll
* Little drummer boy
* You can't kill rock and roll
* You can't kill rock and roll
* You can't kill rock and roll

Sadly, one of the final versions of You can't kill rock and roll was not recorded. The completists in the audience may now curse fate.

Also not recorded was Fearless, which I do feel is a loss.
