Old 97's live at Headliner's in Louisville, KY 7/24/09
Song from The Old 97's Question She woke from a dream Her head was on fire Why was he so nervous? He took her to the park She crossed her arms And lowered her eyelids Some day somebody's gonna ask you A question that you should say yes to Once in your life Maybe tonight I've got a question for you She'd had no idea Started to cry She said in a good way He took her by the hand Walked her back home They took the long way Some day somebody's gonna ask you A question that you should say yes to Once in your life Maybe tonight I've got a question for you I've got a question for you
A different version of the famous Johnny Cash's song "Wreck of the old '97" taken from the album "Destination Victoria Station" of 1975
This was at a traveling Star Search in Bloomington, IL. when my daughter Caitlin was 5 years old. She was born 4/17/1992. As I am writing this, she is 17 years old. She performed Don't Speak- from No Doubt. It was so cute, She didn't expect the audience to say "Awe", as she held her heart and sang, "Don't tell me cuz it hurts" and she smiled and giggled, and almost lost track of the song, but got back on track. It was so cute!

The last track from Blame It On Gravity, and what a finale it is! It came late in the set at the Beachland Ballroom last Friday, but fortunately early enough that my little Flip camera hadn't yet run out of recording space.
Murry Hammond on lead vocals in yet another rendition of a beautiful tune from Blame It On Gravity (all told, they played 9 of the 13 songs from that disc, and I could have used a few more, esp. "Ride" and "This Beautiful Thing"). Performed at the Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio, on Friday, October 10, 2008.
