🦋 Songwriters' Circle: Mountain Station debuts

Me and John played our first show this afternoon! We were one of the featured groups at Michael Locker's Songwriters' Circle, at the Crossroads in Garwood -- there were five acts playing rotating sets of three songs apiece, we were on stage three times for a total of about 40 minutes of music -- way more than we've played before for an audience. (Sparse to be sure, but still.) Our set list:

1. "Red Red Overalls" by Jeremy -- this song gets a little better and a little faster every time we play it.
2. Praying Mantis by Don Dixon
3. "Japanese Radio" by John and Jeremy -- we were extremely loose on this song and having a great time. We had never really worked out the arrangement with any precision and ended up not being sure, at a lot of points, whether we were going to go into a verse or a chorus or an instrumental -- but somehow it worked really well.
4. NJ Transit by Jeremy
5. Walk Right In by Cannon's Jug Stompers
6. "Killer Diller Smile" by John
7. Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan -- this was an encore in our second set when a guy in the audience asked us to play another song.
8. Revelator by Gillian Welch
9. "Meet Me in the Morning" by Bob Dylan
