I usually scan my ticket stub, but since this show was free I scanned Miller's promo material. |
Regardless, Miller pressed on with a way-too-short 45 minute acoustic set. He's a funny dude, and even picked on the audience at one point. "Did y'all come in one car?" He told stories about his songs, and mostly took requests. See the below video for the history behind the song "Ciderville Saturday Night." He even pulled out an early Christmas song saying, "I hate babies, but I love the baby Jesus. He's my second favorite Jew after Sammy Davis, Jr." Look for the Christmas album sometime after Thanksgiving (that's the end of November for you Canadians).

SWEET BASIL! Did Buffalo steal The Commonwealth too???
Neat story re: Ciderville. Hadn't heard that one before. And I've been to Clinton and live near Nashville. Go figure. But the ginormous WSM-AM clear channel radio tower used to broadcast the Grand Ol' Opry is about 10 min from our house. So I got that going for me.
