This show won’t be appearing in the Archive until it receives some post production treatment, but here’s a little number from the third set to tide you over:
“Death Don’t Have No Mercy” Bruce Katz Band 10/15/22 Byron’s Bar
The Bruce Katz Band played a song just for me last night at Byron’s Bar in Pomeroy, Iowa.
The thing is: they’d never played the song before and initially declined my request for it but Aaron Lieberman (guitar, vocals) said he knew the song (by Rev. Gary Davis), and when I told them why I’d like to hear it, which was a death in the family earlier that day, they pulled a rabbit out of their hat and produced this track, completely unrehearsed:
My Dad was always a little mystified by my passion for music, and he is no longer around for yet another explanation from me, but the reason for that passion is contained here. Music is medicine.
Much thanks to
Bruce Katz, keyboards
Aaron Lieberman, guitar, vocals
Liviu Pop, drums

Brothers Burn Mountain are returning to Pomeroy next Sunday, October 2 (2022)
Here’s the set closer from Set 3 last time they were there.
The percussion at the end is the brothers drumming on everything in the place.
Mike Younger Set Opener “Ragtime Angel” 9/17/22 Byron’s Bar
Cousin Curtiss Duo “One More Saturday Night” 9/8/22 Byron’s Bar
It isn’t particularly unusual for a band at Byron’s to cover a Grateful Dead song. The Cousin Curtiss Duo did a real nice job on this “One More Saturday Night”. Due to a small amount of confusion, we arrived at the conclusion of the show but still caught this one. We didn’t have time to check our levels and to position the mics; this was from the front of our table very close to the band.
