“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”

Further: Smith also did this number in September 2019. A very noisy wedding party had crashed the performance. Here’s our original recording of that.

But since then, we’ve learned that we knock out some of the noise by mixing down to mono:
