Wav -> eMastered: EQ (widened the stereo a notch, raised the lows a notch, lowered the highs a notch and bumped the loudness a notch) -> Mp3 -> Audacity: fades, labels
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.
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.
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.

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
