Texas Housewarming Party

So I started the night, but the first 30 to 45 minutes really aren't worth talking about. I discovered (the hard way) that house parties are different when they're not in SLO. Different game plan required. So ... to really get the party started, Cid and I started trading songs. Here are my contributions:

-Cornbread Fish and Collard Greens - Anthony Hamilton
-Every Planet We Reach Is Dead - Gorillaz
-Hot Potato - Circus Contraption
-Mr Siegal - Tom Waits
-In the Mississippi River - Mavis Staples
-Real Gone - Sam Taylor & His All Star Jazz Band
-Deep in the Delta - Brother Yusef.

PS We owned that floor ...
