SETLIST: Show 509 - John Natsoulas Gallery, Davis,CA - July 30, 2009

We had a GREAT time a the Natsoulas Gallery this past week. It was a gorgeous night for live music outdoors! The weather was being kind, the venue was supportive of the music, and the people that came were there to listen...who could as for more?..well, a little light would be nice.The night started out just wonderful.. bright and beautiful with a slight breeze in the air. We invited our new friends VOLCANO SCHOOL to open up the show, and they TORE IT UP!. They rocked and made lots of new friends themselves..(John from Volcano School played recently with Instagon show 507). , although by the time we were playing it was quite dark and hard for anyone to see what we were doing or what we looked like. I had sorta expected this, so a brought a projector and tried to project some imagery over the Instagon show, but it didnt really work as well as i would have liked it to.

but that didnt stop us at all.. It was a well line up with Michael Otwell out in front on flute and saxophone, Chad E Williams on the guitar, and we were joined by our new friend from Fair Oaks,CA, Mark Halverson on the drums. Mark is someone that we had met on line recently and this was his first experience with Instagon live. He was really fun to play with and we expect to have more interaction with him in the near future. The set started into a pure jazz approach out of the invokation, and then attempted to pick up the bounce a little with Little Turtle and Deamons Tube.. but then returned back to the jazz scene with an attempt at Miles Davis's So What.. and then plunging into wicked garagejazz twist on Danny Elfman's Theme from The Simpons..which was the crowd pleaser of the night for sure.. we closed the set with a smooth adventure into Spider ...which was due to there being a spider in a sweet web on the railing of the rotunda we were playing in. Michael pointed it out, and so that's how the show was closed.
