Present Joys

“We thank the Lord of heaven and earth
who hath preserved us from our birth
for present joys, for blessings past,
and for the hope of heaven at last.”

John Vanderslice and Crooked Fingers at the Tree Bar (6 nov 2012)

On election night, 6 nov, I got to see John Vanderslice and Crooked Fingers play at a really cute, local bar here in Columbus. JV was super cool. I got to talk to him while he was making his setlist. I requested a couple songs, one of which he acceded to play. (It was “Keep the Dream Alive”!) He dedicated it to me in the middle of the set, and performed it un-amplified! I bought a vinyl LP of one of my favorite JV albums, Life and Death of an American Fourtracker, which he signed for me. (Crooked Fingers were also great!)
