Reviews
The 3 April Robyn show was goofy fun.
Shirt: White with big *bright* swirls of red and lime green, untucked.
Pants: Too-skinny, roughly mediterranean blue, looked to be of the polymer family.
Hair: We have a phrase around my house describing the look of various occupants when they've just been roused from sleep and show the effects from head to tail: Bedcat.
Opening song: Uncorrected Personality Traits
Highlight of the show for me: Freeze, followed closely by I Often Dream of Trains and Rain (Beatles), the latter of which was performed with Scott Ligon. Also in the running, Wichita Lineman, performed with Kelly and Scott, Robyn playing slide on the Tele.
One gripe: Sleeping With Your Devil Mask really requires a backup singer to avoid the "guy singing all the vocal parts along with the song on the radio as he drives down the road" effect.
Extemporization: A couple amusing bits of talk about just having emerged from a barn after 35 years to play this show, and another circuitous explanation of the purpose (or maybe just effect) that the unavoidable guitar-tuning that's part of any acoustic/folkie show has on the audience members and then indirectly on pet rodents owned by audience members. Robyn was looking for the word "nutria" - the large rodent common in the swamps of Louisiana - but couldn't remember it quite, and eventually settled on "neutrinos" which lent a strange quarky charm to the story.
