| : Sea of No Cares - Of all the songs you hear at the show, this is the one which sticks in your head on the way home, as you get ready for bed, whenever your subconscious mind is taking over. Definitely catchy. : After the song Alan starts singing and playing "Almost Heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River...(the audience sings along)... Hey! Let's do the chorus! "Country Rooooooads, take me hooooome, to the place I beloooooooong, West Virginia, Mountain Mamaaaaa, take me hooooome country roooooooads." : Old Black Rum : General Taylor � : Alan: This is New Jersey. Is this anywhere near the ocean? No? Well it should be. No! I'm not saying that the sea should wash over the park, inundated, like the great Biblical flood. Oh no! I'm not saying that at all! It's ust that ... : Sean: That's what happened to Paddy Murphy! Washed away in the great flood! : Alan: Ladies and Gentlemen, Sean McCann, Shanty man to sing you a shanty... : Lukey - I love the way Bob does the rapping echo thing "Lukey's Boat is painted green." This summer is the first I have noticed it. Karen tells me he always does it. *sigh* Things I don't notice! : Own True Way - Yay! We got to hear it again! They played it in Long Island and in Baltimore, but not at the World Trade Center or Haddon Heights. This is a wonderful song. I think I like it better than Sea of No Cares. After the song, I forget what the context was, but while Alan was talking, Bob did this little picking thing on the bouzouki - telling him to get on with it, I guess. Alan says "Bob speaks! He speaks bouzouki." Bob smiles and nods and strums some more, makes weird noises with the bouzouki going up and down the frets , bangs on it a few times with his knuckles. Alan: "What Bob is saying in translation is...wouldn't it be great..." : Consequence Free : I'm A Rover � Well, Darrell wasn't the rover this evening but the intro went on for a while. : Sean: "It's a song about a rover who is hoping that a lady will open her window and let him in. This song goes out to all the ladies with windows that open. : Alan: Hey! We can do this song for our Vegas debut! They always say "For all the ladies in the audience..." : Sean: Wayne Newton doing "I'm a Rover" : Alan: "Maybe Celine will do a GBS song! Celine Dion doing "I'm a Rover!" Then he starts singing high soprano, imitating Celine. "No! I shouldn't make fun of that beautiful lady" : Sean: That lady just had a baby. This song goes out to Celine and her baby! Her baby who will grow up to be a rover!" : Jack Hinks - there were about 10 little kids hanging out right at the stage in front of Alan and Darrell - a little Alan/Darrell fan club. Alan once went right over to them and played. He was sooo cute. |

| : Mari Mac - nice and fast : Ordinary Day : Encore! : Excursion 'Round the Bay- my favorite trad tune : Tunes - (Feller from Fortune) - I wish they'd just do the whole song and put Bob's instrumental part in the middle. It's such a fun song and they only sing one verse! After the show, Darrell took a picture of the beautiful sunset before walking off the stage. |

| It's the end of the show as we know it, and Bob feels fine! |
