Next George broke out some light vocal music the we mulled over ,I cant recall the name , (It was a obscure recording that he said he just found, and has not had a long listen to) Over The Rhine .............George that it sounded Like he was sitting in the small venue The Ark he seen him at in Ann Arbor MI.

..........George broke out a old recording of Candy O by the Carsit was the Cars debut LP, the last two tracks "Moving in Stereo" was one of them. ...........
George then took me up on that and broke out Deep Purple, and proceeded to "Turn it up " as they say. I had Ritchie Blackmore front row center pounding out those famous opening guitar riffs. As george sipped his beer and looked like a 17 year old at a concert. minus a fat roll-ya-own

George made friends fast with my wife as he presented her with a fine White micro brew as a warming gift, that was great. from Portland Maine; Allagash White Beer

Good times were had, thanks for hosting the event Chris.

I must have missed Over the Rhine. I've seen this band live. They opened up for the Cowboy Junkies the last time I saw them at the State Theater in Ann Arbor a good number of years ago. For a long time, I had been meaning to pick a recording by them, but eventually forgot about them. I need to put them back on my "to buy" list.

Glad to hear the Michigan contingent had a great time and Chris's system was enjoyed by all ! Now if you guys can only figure out what has happened to those Detroit Lions ??

So, with all these "Regional" happenings who's going to step up and organize the National event for next year ??
