Family Show, One Longfellow Square, Portland, ME 12/27/08

Stayed overnight in Manchester and drove to the venue arriving around noon. Saw Rachel and met a couple of EP’s traveling buddies. The Family Show I thought had a pretty good turn out, although there was appeared to be limited exposure at the venue publicizing the show. It’s always fun to see the kids enjoy EP’s show. As Ellis said, they listen to music with their bodies. We should all take note of that.

Don and Rad accompanied Ellis, although there was no scaring the kids with Rad’s rendition of Little Red Riding Hood, like last year at Club Passim. I know, he didn’t scare them too, much, just a little.

Here’s the set list:

1. The Cat Came Back
2. Wabi-Sabi
3. Because It’s There
4. Road Trip
5. The Dragonfly Races
6. I Like to Swing
7. The Bed Song
8. This Land Is Your Land
9. My Mother Popped Out [poem]
10. Going to the Zoo
11. Jingle Bells/Frosty/Rudolph Medley
12. The Little Red Rose
13. I’ve Been Working on the Railroad/She’ll Be Coming Round the Mountain

Ellis really has developed a knack for getting the kids interested in his poem ‘My Mother Popped Out’ I hope you all get a chance to hear it sometime soon.

Ellis invited us to eat lunch with he, the band and others, and that was really nice of him.

We stayed over in Portland today and will travel to Cambridge tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing more of the shows.

Nite, Nite.
Dean [and Elaine]
p.s. come on broncos...

Dean -- once heard Ellis Paul can't buy a meal in his home state of Maine.

Any truth to that rumor?!?!?!?! :lol:

Have a great time all at Passim and beyond..... 8)
