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:
- Down Escalator
- Corey's Coming (by Harry Chapin -- here's his version)
- Just Drive -- this is a WIP that might not be finished yet.
- SUNWSF
- War In Your Heart
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.)
