This week’s column, which will be about self-censoring, will be few days late. Many of you have been generous enough to support Howlin’ at the Moon with paid subscriptions. In return, I take my obligation to generate weekly content quite seriously.
My family and I have hobbies that we share: bicycling, travel and playing music. The latter two we’ve combined by playing evenings from the deck of our toy-hauler as we travel around the country. It’s great fun. But we are finally playing a show here in our own town - tomorrow night.
We are putting the finishing touches on everything today, so I'm fully subscribed. But I will get a column up over the weekend.
Set list:
Christmas Time is Here (Vince Guaraldi)
Tropical December (Steve Rice)
Over the Rainbow (Harold Arlen)
Moon River (Henry Mancini)
September Fifteenth (Lyle Mays/Pat Metheny)
Dust in the Wind (Kerry Livgren)
Blackbird (Lennon–McCartney)
In Reverence (David Tolk)
Scarborough Fair (Traditional)
Ain’t No Sunshine (Bill Withers)
Dayton, Ohio - 1903 (Randy Newman)
Love Hurts (Boudleaux Bryant)
One Step Up (Bruce Springsteen)
Wichita Lineman (Jimmy Webb)
Brothers in Arms (Mark Knopfler)
Nice set list! Under-appreciated gem from Newman, and who knew there was a song about ny birthday??
