“Ripple” 12/19/21 Luke Hendrickson & Jeremy Jewell, Byron’s Bar, Pomeroy, IA
Luke Hendrickson and Jeremy Jewell of Rochester, Minnesota, performed at the crown jewel of Iowa listening rooms, Byron’s Bar, Pomeroy, IA December 19, 2021. Both do original material, but due to the nature of the venue, we have selected a cover to share here: Ripple by Robert Hunter (1970). Format for the evening was “song-pong” with the artists alternating songs; Jewel leads on this one but both play and Hendrickson harmonizes a little. Full show will be up soon at our library at Internet Archive and will do justice to their individual writing skills.

Recording Notes: Zoom H2n in the “usual place” maybe 5′ from the stack, maybe 5′ high, gain set to 3, mics spread to -1, recorded as .wav but converted here for Internet use via Emastered.com, where we added just a snitch of stereo spread, added some lows and mids, additional mastering with Audacity for the fade and labels, and just a touch of reverb. Internet Archive files are .WAV, unaltered.
“Brokedown Palace”, set 1 opener, Touch Of Grey, 11/7/21, Byron’s Bar, Pomeroy, IA
I guess if you just don’t like black licorice, you’re not going to like it no matter how it’s packaged (that’s a reference to something Jerry Garcia said once), but these guys do a pretty good “Dead 101” (Matt Wilber’s characterization). Since this performance was exactly within my wheel house, I’d like to write a great deal more about it, but as we’ve been doing just lately, here’s the first song from tonight’s performance by Touch Of Grey so you’ve got something to listen to while we’re waiting, which might take a couple of days. “Brokedown Palace” was originally heard on 1970’s American Beauty album by the Grateful Dead. The embroidery on the back of the shirt I wore tonight (now 46 years old) is from that album cover.
(The Grateful Dead never performed this song in Iowa).
There will be more-please stay tuna’d.
