The posts today about Chris today inspired me to share my experience.I was
on vacation in SF in August.Thanks to all who told me about Amoeba
Records.It was a great 3 hour visit.My wife and I went to one show while we
were there .CVS and the Churchills at Cafe du Nord.It was a Sunday and not
many attended.I had never seen Chris, nor did I own anything by him.I was
going because of all the buzz on Audities.Plus I did have a Churchills cd
which I enjoy.Well, Chris did a solo set, and he proved to be everything you
people have claimed and more.Ha was sensational .Great guitar and soaring
vocals.Every song was a winner.It was a 35 minute pop treat.Later he was out
and about with his silver case of cd's to sell.We talked to him for a long
time , and he kept coming back to us.I finally had him open his case .That
was the day I had bought a hundred dollars worth of used stuff.But I just
had to get 1 CVS.After much discussion I settled on "The Wild Horse" because
he told me he did some covers with Kelly Hogan and Neko Case , both of whom
I love.He begged us to come see him in Chicago in Sept.He was tons of fun to
talk to about pop and all kinds of things.
Last Friday was the Hideout gig.I work nights ,but my wife Amy went with
some of her friends.She said the place was pretty empty.When he announced he
was from SF ,Amy cheered.He asked her if she was from there and she shouted
out she had just seen him there.He said he would touch base later.She said
he did another amazing set,just him and guitar.Her friends were
impressed.And he did track her down after his set.In fact she said he kept
coming back.She did buy me a "present" out of his silver case.She got "2Cute
2 be 4gotten" the one with the teenage poetry.One of her friends wanted to
buy one and asked what I had bought in SF.Chris said "Oh this is the one
Gene got".He remembered me well, Amy said.By name .The rest of the story is
between my wife and her friends.Nothing overtly was said.But Chris was more
than interested in hanging around Amy.He was well aware I worked very
late.Their version is he was after Amy.Again, she says he didn't actually
say anything but hinted.In her words he was "rock star scummy".But she still
loves him.And so do I.However, if a future release contains a song to an
Amy, I will have to say the guy has good taste.
