Pride & Joy (Stevie Ray Vaughn cover)

Eleanor Rigby (Dave the drummer likes doing this one because he also plays cello)

Dave playing cello:

Route 66 (R&B standard by Bobby Troup)

Here are photos from the gig.

Houston, the lead singer, is a hoot to photograph.

You are one of those rare people who actually win stuff! Everytime I win something (like once in a million years), it's invariably an umbrella. In fact, I don't think I have won anything BUT umbrellas and I don't even use umbrellas because I think they are unwieldy and obstructive. I vastly prefer raincoats.

drool* You are right, the photos don't do the house justice. I wonder if the wood trim was originally painted white or if there was some natural woodwork when the house was first built? White trim would be appropriate in a colonial revival house, but this house seems to be only colonial revival on the exterior, not the interior. The interior seems to fit right in with most houses built near the turn of the century in Buffalo, where natural unpainted woodwork was most common and used in abundance. Especially since the people who originally built this house in 1896 seemed to spare no expense.
