* Kris broke a string near the beginning of the song, so he's mostly silent for a few minutes. :(
** Not sure about the title of this one!
*** The crackle, I think is on Allie's channel.  Some nice folks up front alerted the sound guy and he fixed it promptly!

I'm not sure how to put this on 2 CDs. The file names are just to follow the etree naming convention. If you aren't a complete-ist you should be able to do without some of the banter! I already feel pretty harsh in eliminating the dead space I did eliminate.


Notes:  The folks in Niles are lucky to have such a nice, little place to see a show!  They also seem to know how to coax some good musicians their way.  The taping situation was ideal.  I set up under their shade tent.  The crowd was very respectful and quiet, but they all clearly enjoyed the music.  There was a dedicated crew of dancers in front, but the rest of the crowd was just sitting and tapping their feet.  There was a very slight breeze for the first set, but I took the windscreen off for the second set.  The air wasn't moving one bit by that point.  The heat may have thinned the crowd a bit.  It was in the high 90's with very high humidity.  We all got very sweaty and listened to some fine, fine music.  The band was in fine form considering the oppressive heat.  The music was also very hot!  The band was also nice enough to wish a happy (9th!) birthday to Twyla Joy Herron, one of Cornmeal's biggest fans, and also my "niece!"

If you haven't seen this band yet ...do it!!!  Don't hesitate.  They rock!  Also, buy their CDs, their posters, and their T-shirts.  Supporting these guys is money well spent folks!
