Ott's Tavern
Washington, NJ
Every so often the planets sort of align on gig nights.  This was the case on Saturday July
19th in Marmora.  It was TC's birthday, and he had a nice group celebrating with him.  
Outside of family and the band itself, TC was treated with a solid outing of "Lost Highway
Girls" and posse.  That was all the energy Yesterday's needed.

Two late night sets with lots of audience participation made for a very happy birthday indeed.
Karen did a great job at supplying all the Tommy Heads, creating a wierd suedo "Where's
Waldo" feel to the night.  Elsie was feeling young again, Jenny Girl blew off Kenny Chesney
tickets and rocked out with Alabama.  The "Lost Highway" babes came with shirts and signs
ready to go ('It's Alright' the power ending to BJ's Who Says You Can't Go Home).

"Come on wonder-mic, do what you like..."
"You never know how a night is going to play out.  You can put together a setlist that you
think is going to be great, only to play in front a completely unexpected type of crowd.  On
Saturday, from way in the back of the band behind the kit, I swore I could hear everyone
in the bar singing along for the entire 2nd set".

~ Quote from Whitey
Artists rendering of some happy faces...
Two's Are Great Company...
"It's good to be the king (for a night)..."
Sean must have lost two bets.  One which required him to don the Mets cap, the
second to agree to the tatoo from dad.  Uncle Frank has no answers...
Murphy owing White at least $1.00...

American Girl, American Pie, Hate to Tell You I Told You So, Own Worse Enemy, Jenny,
Brown Eyed Girl, No Surrender, Just What I Needed, Kryptonite, Beverly Hills, Inside Out,
