Some notes on the gig from Mike:
"This gig reeked of specialness. The vibe, for example, was being set an hour before we played by a man whose job was to lower the old church's central chandelier in order light 25 or so oil lamps, so that we could see. The crowd was whisper soft as we started tinkling the old ivories (strings, actually). None of us predicted how nicely the three instruments and two voices would gel. We did some jazz, bluegrass, folky and funky things in each set. The cookies and muffins were top notch. Normally reserved for preschoolers, the dressing decor was bright and fingerpainted."
