Of course, we all remember where we were the day that Bob Dylan went electric at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.
OK, so maybe that's just me who remembers that.
The more important, and much more immediate rock and roll issue is this: Do you know where you were last night, Friday, August 27th, at about 10:15?
If you can't remember, you may want to sit down and figure it out, because that was when Andy Smith plugged in and went electric.
Andy played 8 or 9 solo acoustic numbers (all new songs . . . the hits just keep on coming!) before inviting the Pretty Punchers powerhouse rhythm section of Josh (bass) and Michael (drums) onstage for three songs (two more new ones!).
The sound was less nuanced than the full Pretty Punchers band - more meaty and muscular. The trio was an especially nice match for the final song - a brand new "spot on" British Invasion inspired song.
Maybe Lou Reed was onto something when he said "You just can't beat guitar, bass, and drums."
"Meaty, beaty, big, and bouncy"
