Hal
at Richmond and Fredericksburg The first
show in Richmond at Carey Street Café was a real treat. It was a very small
venue – it reminded me of hanging out at one of my local watering holes in
New York. There were about 40 people in total – and everyone was truly
enjoying Hal’s performance and also The Mighty Fine Kenny Grimes – it was
just the two of them. I got to hear a new song “Fly” that he said he wrote
just a few days ago - it was about a man trying to decide whether to get
married or not – it was really good – especially the ending! He also did
“The Alamo” song. One special touch Hal did was dedicating a song to a man’s
brother who died two months ago in Iraq – for that he sang “Satisfied Mind”
- it was really touching.
