“Stop Breaking Down”, Reeferseed Express, Byron’s Bar, 7/10/21 Pomeroy Sesquicentennial +1

It didn’t stay like this, but that was because the bass player was overcome by something after the first set; the band was tight when they opened with one of Yours Truly’s favorite Stones songs (from Exile On Main Street):

Stop Breaking Down

Originally scheduled as a street dance in conjunction with Pomeroy’s Sesquicentennial +1 and moved indoors due to weather uncertainty, the night featured an interesting mix of returning Pomeroy-ites for the city’s celebration and Byron’s regulars.

Jamie Grimm and John Price arrived with a rhythm section but the bass player had difficulties which forced her to sit out after “Beautiful” and for the rest of the show the band rotated in a couple of “ringers” (smile) and various members took over bass duties.

Originally, Todd Partridge was the sound guy:

But Todd can play bass, so they drafted him.

toward the end of the show, Calvin stepped in and did “Folsom Prison”
