Set list at Dry Dock open mic

April 10, 2026

I've played dozens upon dozens of open mic sets in my life, to crowds ranging from "distracted" to "hostile". Until tonight, I had never, not even once, been heckled by a parrot.

I don't want to talk about it.

A slightly experimental set:

I made an error introducing Corey's Coming: I was sure it was on Verities And Balderdash, but it's from On the Road to Kingdom Come. I apologise for the oversight. On the plus side, I introduced Down Escalator as "a protest song about death", SUNWSF as "a song that does not constitute advice and War In Your Heart as a song I wrote for another man's wife (which is true, if slightly misleading.)
