For the Coffee Grounds we are preparing two 45 minute sets: about 21 songs and tunes. Kip's will be a subset the Coffee Grounds set list, probably 8 or 9 songs. Last week, on Election day, we played for TwinCitiesRadio.net for Sarah Pray's 'Live Sessions' (I know my sister and niece listened in). We did songs that we were familiar with, most of which will be on our upcoming CD (recorded, mixed and mastered, but still need to do artwork and production).
For these upcoming gigs we hope to include a lot of material that was NOT on the CD, most of which has come together since we did that actual recording last March. Some of these include:
- If I Lose, Let me Lose (Charlie Poole)
- The Baltimore Fire (Charlie Poole)
- Bear Creek Blues (Carter Family)
- I Got A Bulldog (Sweet Brothers)
- Raging Sea (Ernest Stoneman)
- Pretty Little Miss (Stanely Brothers)
- Mighty Mississippi (Ernest Stoneman, Mike Seeger)
- Last Gold Dollar (Ephraim Woodie and the Henpecked Husbands via Kim&Jim Lansford)
Lynn and I went through most of these on Monday and they seem pretty solid. Our hope is that for Kip's we'll do mostly new stuff and for the Coffee Grounds we'll intermingle these with songs and tunes from the CD.
We've also started working on some other songs that we're getting excited about. We hope to have some of those ready for our post-holiday gig at Dulono's on Jan 2nd and 3rd.
Stay tuned!
