Cathy, our friend Lydia, and I drove up to Gettysburg this afternoon to hear Roadbody play at Ploughman Cider Taproom, on the square. They were one of twelve bands to play between Thursday and Sunday evening in the Scene & Herd Fest, put on by Guernsey Beat Records and hosted by Ploughman’s. This was our second time to hear them play at that location and we really enjoyed ourselves. She was early enough in the evening that we were able to go out to dinner afterwards and still get home before the snow started falling. Jeff was playing Saturday afternoon with Emberglow but we couldn’t go both days. He’s probably going to be playing again on the 18th, though, so we are hoping to be able to hear him then.

It was a busy day today, starting with work where I had a few long meetings as well as getting a copy of a website that we’re moving from government servers to ours (the company’s, not mine). These sorts of things take a fair amount of planning and that’s good, but it can also be draining.

Cathy and I then left at 5:00 and drove up to Gettysburg, where Dorothy, Andrew, and Vince (a.k.a. Roadbody) were playing at Ploughman’s Taproom on the square. We sat with Jeff, Anna, and Rachel and enjoyed the show. I prefer when Dorothy plays the acoustic guitar rather than the raspy electric guitar, since the latter tends to drown out her voice, which to me is a big part of her songs. Nevertheless, we know her songs reasonably well, so even when we could not hear her voice or make out the words, we could sort of sing along.

There was a benefit concert on the square in Gettysburg this evening for the Four Diamonds organization. One of the groups playing, starting at 7:00 PM, was Roadbody, this time consisting of just Dorothy and Andrew. it’s quite an experience being right on the square, especially on a beautiful late-summer evening with college kids back in town and a constant stream of traffic. There was everything from cars and motorcycles to huge rigs and fire trucks passing behind them as they played. There was a good crowd and I think it went very well. After they were done playing, Cathy, Dorothy, and I ordered carryout from Kitchen 101, just before they closed, and ate it in the dark on their outdoor tables. We caught the first few songs by Emberglow at Pilger Ruh, playing without Jeff, who was in Colorado helping with the teams fighting the Elk and Lee Fires.
