January 12 2007: Tracy Grammer - Shutesbury Elementary School Gymnasium, Shutesbury MA

I called Adam while waiting for the bus after school to see if he wanted to drink beers, seeing as how it was friday night, but he and Sairi were going to see Tracy Grammer so I postponed the beers and went to the show with them.

The show was in this tiny little gymnasium/cafeteria in Shutesbury, which is, as I understand things, where both Tracy and Jim Henry reside at present. And there was a guy on bass, also from town, who was pretty much Tony Crepps in thirty years. It was a benefit for the school's library, and it looked like 90% of those in attendance were parents of kids who go to the school, with the kids themselves in tow. Brownies and ginger cookies and coffee, everything at fifty cents per, were sold in the back. The set was pretty much exactly the set I saw them play a few months ago, right down to the stupid folk-singing banter, but I had a lot of fun despite.

And then beers were consumed post-show and it seems I called Tony at 3am. I do not recall this personally. It was that kind of night.
