After years of 'fielding' inquiries as to whether I had ever married the two great loves of my life, Jim Bouton's seminal book--and my loyalty to <a href="http://thebushwickbookclubseattle.com/">The Club</a>--pushed me to it. And, I must say, I still look pretty good in-uniform...<br />

I've come a long way since my tenth-grade chops.

Given all the literary connections, I structure the afternoon so that the second set will consist entirely of <a href="http://thebushwickbookclubseattle.com/">Bushwick Book Club</a> songs, with attendees allowed to vote for fifteen particular books. Top vote getters: <i>Alice's Adventures in Wonderland</i>; <i>Slaughterhouse-Five</i>; and <i>The Wonderful Wizard of Oz</i>. Lowest totals: <i>1984</i>; <i>The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe</i>; and <i>The Holy Bible</i>--judging from those last two, I know where folk <i>weren't</i> this morning...<br />

And, much as I'm enjoying the nostalgia trip that is singing on a west-facing West Stage for the first time since my first Tumbleweed in 2002, that sun is brutal! Also consented to attaching a GoPro camera to the headstock of my guitar--watch the sped-up footage of my fingers flying through the 40-minute set <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we1FJFzMh7Q"><b>here</b></a>.<br />
