JoS @ Main Street

Tonight, JoS returned to Main Street Bar and Grille in Stafford VA. Both Rich and I had played there before, althoug it was acoustically that time.

The show started out pretty well. A few of the people in the crowd came up to me as I was writing out the set list. They were friendly and seemed to be interesting in what we were going to be doing for the night. From what I could tell, there was a strong miltary presence (which would make sense, as Quantico was just up the road).

While we were playing, we would occasionally get some people up front dancing. One of the member of the audience told me that there wasn't likely to be much in the way of dancing at this venue, as the club didn't have the legal permits necessary to sanction dancing (accordingly, they didn't move any tables out of the way or do much of anything to assist). Still, they got up and started to move for a few songs here and there.

Otherwise, the crowd mostly hung around the bar, taking with each other and enjoying themselves. I could hear them singing along with us from time to time (particularly doing the fill-ins for Margaritaville). All in all, one of the better shows with JoS.
