This page is dedicated to Catherine Feeny
and The Challenge of Feral Green, who graced my friends
and I with their presence on 1/15/09 when they came to
Kirk and Melinda's livingroom in NW Portland to play a
show for us. It was a unique and wonderful opportunity
and we all had a really, really good time. It was awesome...

This is the first video
I put together. The video quality sucks, I know. The room
was dimly lit, which fit the mood of the evening perfectly.
I didn't want to make a big deal out of lighting for the
video. I tried to brighten it up and this is the result.
The audio on this, however, rocks. Thanks to JC for lending
me his mic and minidisk!
This song is the title track from
Catherine Feeny's album, Hurricane Glass...
This is Catherine Feeny
doing Mr. Blue, which she ever so sweety dedicated to
me. Boy, that sure made me feel like a rockstar...I was
all aglow. And not just off of Macker's bourbon! The audio
on this is frail as it is the audio from the camera the
video was recorded on. The minidisk used to record set
2 failed. I did my best to sweeten it...
I joked at the end of Mr.
Blue that the next song was also for me as Bas got up
to play.
I thought I was just being a smartass, but his next song
actually was for me! How cool is that?! This is my favorite
from The Challenge of Feral Green. It's called The Brite
Spot...
Yes, I know all 3 videos look different.
It is quite the process to process these things and like
a true genius, I didn't save the settings I used each
time to compare. This is new territory for me. I'll get
better.
Here is the audio from the ENTIRE first
set...lots of laughter - lots of joking around - obvouisly
we were all having a really, really good time. It was
SO much fun...
