Eighteen guitars, a keyboard, a chair and a...

Shot of Cuban sweet juice.  Pick your poison and kick back to a coffee house gig of a show that Jackson Browne did on Sunday May 29.

To a near sold out show of 2,000( I didn’t count them) he hit the stage and set expectations by exclaiming,  I really have no set list so let me know what you’d like to hear. And shout out we did. With his eighteen acoustic guitars racked nearby,( some tuned for specific songs) he’d play a few he wanted to play then  would strum a request or two. During the second set, a stage hand poured a shot of rum and  Browne tossed it back and sang his way through  ‘Going down to Cuba’, then added another shot later in the gig.

I'm glad I waited in line, I'm glad I got up on my feet and made the show...it was sweet.
