Hi
This afternoon, I got see Jake in Clinton, CT. It was a free concert, put on for the residents of Clinton. I don't know the tickets were all given out, but I went to the high school anyway (last year, they told us to show up without tickets and everyone got to see him). I was so lucky - someone just said "we have two extra tickets so please use them"! We got nice seats, but even without, I think everyone again got to listen to Jake!!!
He played one long set of mostly originals, "143*", "Let's Dance", "Me and Shirley T", "Go For Broke*", "Blue Rose Falling", "Orange World", "Dragon" "Bring Your Adze*", "Trapped", plus "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Bohemian Rhapsody*". For the encore, he did "Hallelujah*" by Leonard Cohen. I probably missed a few more..... * will be on the new CD "Love Peace and Ukuelele" to be available 1/4/2011.
One thing noted: Jake was using a strap. That's the classical guitar type, hook from the neck. He played standing up and always used the strap, except on "Behemian Rhapsody", he sat on a stool and removed the strap.
There were so many people so I didn't stay around to chat with Jake. None the less, I went home happy!
Cheers

PS: To the gentleman and the lady who gave me the tickets, I couldn't thank you enough and never saw you again. If you are a member, I thank again!
PPS: I think "cupcake" was there but we didn't get to meet.
