“Pickled Peaches”, Ryne Doughty, 9/5/21, Byron’s Bar, Pomeroy, IA
Brian Johannesen and Ryne Doughty alternated sets on this night. This is Ryne’s set two opener:
“Customer Of The Month”, Brian Johannesen, 9/5/21, Bryon’s Bar, Pomeroy, IA
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.
