NOtes: First minute of "My Baby" missed because of bad cable connection.
Wammo was suffering badly from bronchitis, and he coughs throughout. The clip-on mic makes it hard for this not to come through on the recording. However, he held back on his vocals a bit and was able to soldier through. The coughing also added some authenticity to "Wake and Bake" and "Smokin Resin." :-) To give him a break, Christina invited anyone in the audience to do a Wammo song, provided that they knew the lyrics, and Dale stepped up to do a fine job on "Wammo's Blues " (with some promting from Wammo and some ad libbing). Christina also pitched in by singing "Beer." A fun show overall, with a large and enthusiastic but respectful crowd. The audience noise never overwhelms the recording. The new Wammo tune, "Leafblower" (or maybe "Bad Neighbor") had everyone howling.
