Not my first, second or even third time seeing Ben Folds. I expected a good show and wasn’t disappointed. We showed up a bit close to the end, since we were running a bit late from the restaurant. So I sent, Dave, Jo and Shannon off to sit while I ran and got water for everyone.
I wasn’t expecting Lindsey Kraft. I enjoyed the playing, song and banter, and was surprised when I found out that she was also on Grace & Frankie but then disappointed when I couldn’t find her music in the normal places, though it does look like she has a couple of things around. I’m curious to see how this develops, assuming I can remember without being periodically reminded by things that come up on my music shuffle.
Ben Folds started with a set of things that he wanted to play, which reminded met that I needed to add some music from his library to my to rate list. Then, after a break, he did the airplane portion. I missed the barrage of airplanes as I ran off to go to the bathroom (initially I was fine, then I didn’t think I would make it to the show). One can see how many requests were made. It looked like a good selection and I certainly enjoyed what was chosen. Near the end of the show he picked several up in a row for the purpose of closing out the show, making sure the last songs weren’t a downer, which is certainly possible.
Good dinner, fun show and fun was had.
