Harvest Moon Café Christmas Party

12/10/12
Harvest Moon Café
Rome, GA

We bartenders were responsible for music and entertainment.  We were initially going with iPods, but they asked me to play.  I brought PA and started the festivities while the party was still mellow:

Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)
Ring Of Fire
The Way You Do The Things You Do
Wonderful World
Save The Last Dance For Me
Dear Prudence
Runaway
How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)
Soulshine
Pancho & Lefty
I Can See Clearly Now
Drift Away*
Just Like Heaven**

 **w/Ashley Hill, voc.; Adam Sikes, drums

The games portion of the night commenced, lots of silliness and innuendo, prizes, etc.  Afterwards, we were asked to play together.  Since we don't play together on a regular basis, other than the semi-regular freakout jam session, it would be tough.  Here's what we pulled together:

You Never Can Tell***
Jam > After Midnight***

***w/Levi White, guitar; Alex Alexander, guitar; Adam Sikes, drums

"After Midnight" dissolved into another freakout jam, I laid out.  They jammed a little while longer, then played dance music through iPods the rest of the night.

Clayton Jones & The Bucks

Clayton and his band have had a Thursday thing going at Havana this past month.  Tonight, via a scheduling mix-up, he had no band.  I was already going to record, he called me, asked me to bring a guitar, said we'd just do a guitar pull.  I didn't have time to think myself out if it, so here it is:
