Slow Down, Live, December 12, 2003 (mp3)

"Slow down, you’re drivin’ too fast.  These memories won’t last if you don’t live them first."

Two years ago this month, I put together a group of friends to perform the first official 100 Year Picnic show.  We had myself on vocals and acoustic guitar, Edwin Pierce on bass, Tony San Filippo on percussion, and Ken Thornton on guitar.  We rehearsed a few times, and on this snowy winter’s eve, packed an enthusiastic crowd (of friends and family!) into the Crazy Planet Kitchen.

A few of the songs we played were brand new, including this version of Slow Down, featuring Ken’s masterful slide work.  This is a song I really love to sing.  It’s a bit of a note to myself as songs often are for me.  We’ll have a studio version on one of the next records. 

Enjoy, and Happy New Year to you and your families, Jeff
