Also, I think the reason it was so hard to remember which songs Crooked Fingers played is because it felt like every single song was my favorite song. Usually I go see a show and the band plays a bunch of their music and then that one song that I love. Not this show! It seemed like every time Bachmann picked up a guitar he was playing my "favorite song." Partly because I find a HUGE percentage of the Crooked Fingers/ Eric Bachmann/ Archers of Loaf repertoire is "my favorite." Partly because they played a wickedly solid set. "So what did they play?" a friend asked of the show. "EVERYTHING." Perhaps that wasn't true, but it felt like it. That was a great show. Really great show.

That was a great show. Really great show.

Perhaps I should call them "semi-local". HAD, yeah, I’d heard that they’d move farther away (though I heard Santa Cruz and Point Reyes). Perhaps I should call them “semi-local”.
