I was excited to have old friend and musical foil Mike Oravec (in from San Diego for the holidays) join me back on the J&P's stage for the first time in two years. As such, the set leaned heavily on covers from our old open-mic-duo days (including VU's "Candy Says", a recording of which is posted below). As always, Christina Ward and I rotated sets a few times throughout the evening, which lasted three hours, and culminated with a John Popper sighting that, sadly, did not result in an amazing harmonica jam with us on stage. Maybe next time, John?
