Susan Gibson, 3/24/20, Byron’s Bar, Pomeroy, IA, video by Tom Brandt.

Took a year to get the stuff out of his camera to here (smile). First video is “Upon Reentry”

At the end of the show, everyone left of course. But Susan wasn’t done. She did six more songs for just a handful of us. Here are five of those:

“8 x 10”

“Wide Open Spaces”

The Big Game

Diagnostic Heart + Cloud Nine

Wild Ponies “I Fall To Pieces” (Patsy Cline) 11/17/19 Byron’s Pomeroy, IA

Here’s a live recording of a song that The Wild Ponies did as their encore at Byron’s in Pomeroy. Bear in mind that this number is not necessarily in their standard repertoire – they elected to debut “The Draft Horses” for the third set. Apparently, the Draft Horses do classic country. Anyway, this was something you couldn’t hope to expect and if you think about it, listen to the way the band absolutely commanded the moment – that’s a room full of people who have had the opportunity to drink for a couple of hours and listen to how quiet and captivated they become……
