September 8
They had been out of town for a couple of weeks, and we had skipped the week before that, so I was very ready to hear the Bump Band.
We got there fairly early and took a place on the high side of the bar. One of the first songs was "Date with an Angel," of which Ian actually forgot one of the verses. Very unusual. Before beginning "Lately I've been leaning in the wrong direction...", a song he once said was for people who like circuses, drinking, and religion, he mentioned that it was inspired by George Jones, who once said of himself and Johnny Cash, "We were leanin' in the wrong direction..."
At the break, some of the chairs came up empty, so we hurried down and took two of them in the second row. Joaquin joined us briefly to chat about Tommy.
Since the summer, they've been doing a song called "Big Love," a tune with very simple words, so simple that I sometimes sing it while walking Brownie. The other song I found myself singing after the show was "I wish you the best of British..."
From the CD of the same name.
