Good gracious, I’m more than a bit behind the times in posting these photos. Only … three months late. [Let us not speak of the backlog of audio I've yet to post, either.]

Yesterday and today, I tackled about 700 photos in my set of photos from the 19 Sep 2006 Square Peg Alliance show in Nashville. This one is one of my favorites, and it allows me to tell a story:

Matthew Perryman Jones (left) was brought up to sing just one song, and he chose “All the King’s Horses”. At the time, I was very much into his Throwing Punches in the Dark, and … well, I started softly singing the harmony lines at my seat, a row back and off to the side. Apparently, I wasn’t singing nearly as soft as I thought, because as he started the second verse, Jones was totally thrown, asking “whoever’s singing this on stage, come up here and sing this with me”. Well, it wasn’t anyone, so after a few seconds, Andrew Osenga (right) hopped up to sing BGV’s with him.

After the show, I sheepishly went up to Matthew afterwards and admitted that I was the one singing. He then said, “Well, next time, just come on up there.” So I might.

    Great story, Geof. (It totally sounds like something I would’ve done. :-) ) I was very impressed with MPJ when I heard him at Mercy Lounge this summer; I hope to hear him again someday.

    What did you end up thinking of Throwing Punches in the Dark? As I remember, you bought it at the show…
