K&W at Costa Mesa -- 11July2008

Another quiet night in Costa Mesa. First ever outing of James Taylor's "Steamroller Blues", and "Take It Easy" which both seemed to go OK. I'm playing "Take it Easy" with the capo on the second fret, but only covering the 5 highest strings, which seems insane, but works really well if you want to play in D, sound like E, and have a nice strong bass note. Which happens to be the case with "Take it Easy". I can also go into "Can't Find My Way Home" from there, and might just do so in future.

We attracted the attention of a woman sitting over in the comfy chairs, who asked for a song or two, and came up to talk to us during tear-down. She didn't *seem* crazy, but claimed to know Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, and Seal, and to have been one of the zombie dancers in the "Thriller" video (the one with a mop for hair, apparently). She liked our stuff, and had some notion that the Olympics (yes, those Olympics) needed a theme song "like last time". She thought she might talk to Quincy and see if there was something we could do about that.

I'm not holding my breath.
