New Year's Eve Eve |
Friends from all over the
country gathered in Champaign-Urbana just before the turn of the
year. Naturally, a few games of Tarock were played but mostly this
was about good friends, good food & drink and singer-songwriter Paul
Kotheimer. Paul took an immediate liking to Tarock and propped the
Jack of Hearts on the tv during his performance. He played all his
hits and some of his new work. After the show, Heather was fortunate
enough to score Paul's new CD, 113 Carolina Avenue, in a trade for
a Blitz Tarock deck. I've listened to113 Carolina
Avenue over a dozen times. Just can't get enough of Everybody
Smokes in Hell, Rio de Janeiro Breeze and You Wish You Could
Go Out Tonight .
