Baptist Coffee House


We played a show last night at, of all places, the First Baptist Church in Macon, GA. They do a quarterly "Coffee House" event to raise money for Habitat for Humanity, and invited us to play a couple of short sets along with some poets and other musicians, all of whom were quite good.

The audience was warm and receptive, and the atmosphere was great! Good coffee, pizza and sodas, and nothing to remind you it was a church basement beyond the genuine friendliness of the folks and the earnestness of the cause. On the whole, I find I preferred this to an audience of sullen nihilists. But maybe I'm getting old. After all, I do require glasses now to see the lyric sheets. Which I require because my memory isn't what it once was.

Here's what we played:

I Didn't Feel
Moonshiner (traditional)
101 Degrees
Angel Band (Ralph Stanley)
Stay Close to Me
She Walked Away
