CB Holiday Gig – Dec. 22, 2007
December 23rd, 2007
Citizen Bare played at the New Moon Café on Dec. 22, 2007 to quite the mix of friends and family. We definitely had a good time and thank them all for coming.
It was an interesting night for Citizen Bare. Starting with Go Tell it on the Mountain…. We never did get all the chords right on that one… We definitely were a little challenged by throwing together some Christmas tunes, but felt like it was important to try to do a few. Needless to say, we are looking forward to removing them from the list for at least another year.
Highlights of the Night
It was great to have so many people to help us with the 12 Days of Christmas. It took a little bit to get everybody on board, but once we got going, it was a really good time.
A Partridge in A Pear Tree – Everybody including Citizen Bare
2 Turtle Doves – Allen Gratton
3 French Hens – Matt Magnuson
4 Calling Birds – Elizabeth Patterson
5 Golden Rings – Mike Benevento
6 Geese A Laying – Susan Edelman
7 Swans A Swimming – Becca Baker
8 Maids A Milking – Kim Manley
9 Ladies Dancing – Stephanie Edelman
10 Lords A Leaping – Cheri Coleman
11 Pipers Piping – Myles Miller
12 Drummers Drumming – Pete Murphy
It was great to have Allen Gratton and his Mandolin join John on a couple of songs. Their performance of Dance, Dance, Dance by Steve Miller, and Heart in a Cage in the styling of Chris Thile was quite good.
Elizabeth Patterson added a wonderful harmony and excellent solo to the end of Nautical Disaster by the T-Hip.
Low Point of the Night
Andrew broke a string during American Dream. What a bummer…
Citizen Bare wants to thank everybody for coming out so close to Christmas and wish you all a warm one.
