Robyn Hitchcock
1997.03.03
Catâ€™s Cradle
Carrboro, NC

Notes: Very good audience recording. Robynâ€™s 44th birthday. At one point Robyn starts to play Glass Hotel and the audience breaks into Happy Birthday. Then, the Dear Janes bring out a cake for him. He seems both surprised and pleased. This show also has the most audience requests Iâ€™ve ever heard. My stomach does a teacherâ€™s pet dry heave every time I hear the obsequious suggestion to â€œplay what you wantâ€.
