Coffee Works
Voorhees, N.J.
The first of two big shows on Christmas weekend occurred on a rainy (not snowy) Friday night. A couple of seasonal songs appeared during the Folk hour: the Dylan-esque "New Year" and the traditional gospel song "Amazing Grace."
Dom got a request for an original song, "If I Get There First," and tacked it near the end of the Rock hour. Those of you who remember that old tune as a fingerpicked, quiet song, might wonder how it got into a mix of rock songs. Well, a few months ago, Dom tried it as a strummed song with a slightly quicker tempo and liked it better that way. So now it can disguise itself as a rockin' song (although it isn't heavy).
Also, the Rock hour had a timeline of sorts with the covers, starting with a song from the 1960s and featuring a tune from each of the next three decades in chronological order.
