One set, 9 PM, Kenny’s Castaways, 157 Bleecker Street, NYC. $5 cover. Our fourth anniversary! Old songs, new songs, red songs, blue songs. And of course Henry the Horse dances the waltz.
They have space for a waltzing horse? Does Henry waltz with a mare or with a lady? Viennese waltz?
(Sorry, couldn't resist.)
"Is this show a benefit?"
Aside from the well-documented benefits of listening to live music (improved concentration, increased attractiveness, better luck at lotteries, and a shinier coat), no. Why?
P J, I was about to joke that "Henry the Horse" sounds like a Damon Runyon character, which I thought terribly clever, but then I did a quick search to make sure I had the spelling of "Runyon" correct, and found out that, in fact, "Harry the Horse" is a Damon Runyon character. And yet, I somehow managed to miss the Beatles reference.
I swear, I must have at least 150 years' worth of pop-culture detritus swimming around in my brain, randomly linking and unlinking like memetic nucleopeptides.
Have fun tonight, Patrick. As we like to say after a particularly enjoyable gig, you don't get paid for playing music; you get paid for hauling equipment.

I don't know the Runyon reference (although it sounds vaguely familiar). I think we're even (for at least some value of even).
For the benefit of Mr. Kite, of course.
And nobody's mentioned Theodore Geisel yet.
For the benefit of Mr. Kite, of course.
And the Hendersons will all be there. What a scene!
"I swear, I must have at least 150 years' worth of pop-culture detritus swimming around in my brain, randomly linking and unlinking like memetic nucleopeptides."
Howard, that sure beats the hell out of my explanation of the phenomenon: "My mind is a junkyard."
Aside from the well-documented benefits of listening to live music (improved concentration, increased attractiveness, better luck at lotteries, and a shinier coat), no. Why?
Did I just see PNH miss a Beatles reference?
(Check list.)
Well, that's six. If the little bears of the north claim the flag of victory, we're all screwed.
"Did I just see PNH miss a Beatles reference?"
Evidently so. <facepalm>
