I don't have the set list from Saturday night (Holly,
are you out there?), but I can tell you that it was
another great evening of music with the dynamic duo. 
It was probably the most fun I've had at an OtR show. 
There were lots of humorous remarks from Karin and
Linford throughout the performance.  Linford wore some
cowboy boots that Karin had given him for Christmas,
so she had a few "it must be the boots" comments
during the evening.  Then there was the story about
Linford's vintage dresses...

The NEW 21 song double album will be released on
August 19th.  It will be 2 CD's and should also be out
on vinyl.  There is still no name for the record yet. 
Linford threw out a few ideas and asked for audience
feedback.  One was "Wine Me, Dine Me, Over the Rhine
Me."  Another was simply "Ohio."  Karin said that Paul
Mahern, the producer, had suggested something along
the lines of "Sweaty Hickey Party."   If you have any
excellent suggestions, you can e-mail them to Linford.

As for new songs, "Only God Can Save Us Now" was a
tongue in cheek account of their recent nursing home
experiences.  Linford said they are keeping the new
material somewhat guarded.  We will get to hear more
of it when they do the upcoming band tour.  They did
not say which musicians will be joining them, but
Karin said afterwards that Jack will not be on this
tour.  He remains in Scotland for the time being. 

It was my first time at the Canal Street Tavern.  When
I walked in the door, the first person I saw was the
diminutive, delightful Kylie Jo Wilkerson.  KJ was 
working the merchandise table.  The opener was Cameron
Martin Cochran, a Cincinnati singer-songwriter
described by Karin as "a tall drink of water."  I
liked his music well enough to pick up his 5 song EP,
which was a mere $7.  I enjoyed the intimate
atmosphere of the venue and thought the sound was very
good.  Mick Montgomery is the man!

I had been trying to line up Joel Henderson as the
opener for one of the Dayton concerts, but had no luck
in reaching Linford.  Interestingly enough, while they
were incommunicado, I found out during the show that 
they had been only a freaking hour away from me doing
studio work in Bloomington, IN!  After they left the
Hoosier state,  they went to Florida for a couple of
shows and actually took two days off to hang out on
the beach.  As for the aforementioned Joel, check out 
http://www.joelhenderson.com/music.html to hear four
songs produced by Ric Hordinski.

I know, it's too much information for some of you and
not enough for others.  Sorry I couldn't give you a
detailed set list.  I know at least one person out
there who actually has it! You know who you are! : ) 

peace,

Jeff
