Raleigh, NC LRS

Hi, everyone.  I wanted to add two things to the original post of the Raleigh LRS.  First, we had two special guests.  Jerry Cook opened, playing acoustic guitar.  He ended by having us sing "Amazing Grace", a cappella.  Very nice.  Jeff Eecho accompanied Kyle on flute on several numbers.  Very beautiful.  Also, Kyle noted that the ending of "Coffee House Dues" echoes the theme song "Love is All Around" of the Mary Tyler Moore Show-- As he explains in his backstory, "Coffee House Dues" is based on his experience in a Minneapolis-St. Paul  Borders -and the MTM Show was set in-of course-Minneapolis-St. Paul! Who knew? Thanks for the info, Kyle.  I think it makes the songs even more special when the listeners know the writing process behind them.

I agree, Leigh.  I always enjoy those extra touches he throws in and hearing the backstories.
