Amelia White “Nowhere Man” 4/10/22 Byron’s Bar, Pomeroy, IA

We may not have an upload to Archive for this show-at least not until we have a further discussion with Amelia White about that (she has a trepidation about it).

In the meantime, here’s a little number she did that we just have to share. It’s atypical of the rest of the performance:

Ryne Doughty and Brian Johannesen played Byron’s Bar in Pomeroy, IA on Sunday September 5, 2021. We’ll have the full show up soon at Internet Archive, but in the meantime, here’s a song by Brian, “Customer Of The Month” that spoke to me. According to Johannesen, it was inspired by his college roommate who ate the same plain peanut butter sandwich with Lay’s regular potato chips every day. There were certainly songs of arguably greater importance by both singers throughout the night, but sometimes I need the mundane stuff.

Great Moments At Byron’s, Pomeroy, “It’s My Own Fault”, Dust Devil Choir, 7/21/19

This is one of our earliest recordings from Byron’s, and unfortunately, yours truly had failed to anticipate what might happen if some guitar player overpowered our little recorder and brought the house to its feet.

The Amazing Guitar solo at the end is by Jake Koivisto, originally from Galva, Iowa.

“The Boxer” Larry Myer & Al Sroufe 5/30/21 Set 1 Byron’s Bar, Pomeroy, IA

Set Opener at Byron’s Bar, Pomeroy, IA 5/30/21. Zoom H2n on light stand maybe 8′ high, 5′ from PA right side. Some editing has been applied to remove a cough, a couple of beer can cracks, an odd crashing sound, but the PA crackled a bit. Much of that is gone too, but close listeners will hear the snip. Myer would like to review our output before we got all public with it, so this will serve as a “preview” of the night, and might be a temporary post. For the time being, we won’t add stuff from this show to our Facebook page.  Photo by Byron Stuart.
