Chris, we did it again. We somehow made it through without you. A good band of bluegrassers burned up three hours like it was Match-Light charcoal. Lots of the "regulars" -- Wayne, Joe, Jason, Ralph, Nancy, P.J., Brian, Kendall, et al. with some welcome cameos by Susan Gaskins, Andrea from Floyd and her pal from Norfolk, Tim Mills, Bill Adams and, um, Lewis's sister, who played gospel instrumentals on some kind of electronic synthesier/omnichord device that made people nervous.
Not a huge crowd of listeners, but the place was pretty full at peak hours. We entertained guests from New Jersey, Maryland and New York, in addition to the locals and Jason's mom! (who can't remember her son's name, so she calls him "Alex"; she also wrote in the guestbook that she's real proud of her boy despite the company he keeps).
The set was the most eclectic in a while (and not just because of Lewis's sister). Andrea did a couple of songs nobody had heard (just practicing' for the next Side Door). Brian sang the old Gram Parsons' chestnut "Brass Buttons," which had most in the crowd calling it a new jam classic. All in all, a good time.

I'd say that just about covers it. It was good to have Ralph back from the Big City, and it's always good to have Susan around to pick a few with. Overall, another good night at the Mill. Chris is gonna have some catchin up to do!
