Meanwhile, I’m posting this SONG LIST! Trite, I know. I’ve been listening to this CD for two

... I managed to miss the fact the Bob Schneider was playing here in Boulder at the Fox Theater on The Hill, CU's neighborhood, while I was instead listening to Jack Johnson-allied jam band Animal Liberation Orchestra (A.L.O.) in Denver.

Come to think of it, maybe it was the crowd that was unenthused, but either way it made the concert feel moribund and
