Billy Don Burns Set 3 6/20/21 with some assistance
I take notes when I’m recording stuff, mainly for the purpose of labeling the tracks on the recording, and I sometimes get the feeling that it looks a little nerdy to be doing that. Jon Dee Graham expressed amazement over that one time.
That said, one night when Billy Don Burns was playing at Byron’s, by the third set he was pretty much on auto-pilot due to liberal imbibing, and I had realized that he probably couldn’t remember which songs he’d done and which songs he hadn’t done, particularly the latter. So I used my phone, accessed my own archives with their nice notes and made a list for him.
That turned out to be reinforcement for my even being there, since I had chosen between my girlfriend’s performance in another town (she plays a cajón in a duo) and BDB, and I wasn’t sure I’d figured that out right, but it turned out I had a reason to be there (to write this).
He seemed to appreciate that and started out with Keith Whitley Blue, which I had suggested, it being one of my favorite songs of his:
That’s what nerdy stuff is all about, man. Every once in a while, somebody needs the information.

These guys have, um, really fleshed out this number.
“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):
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”
