Fizz setlist 10/06/2008

10/6/2008, the day after WCLX, I spun from a little after nine until a little after eleven p.m. On the whole, an odd night, and certainly not my best set ever. It was pretty empty until about 10:15, and folks seemed pretty intent on conversation. Maybe everyone was just tired from a weekend full of revelry. Because of who was there, I started out trying to play "Boston-style" music--stuff you might hear at Monday night practice.
