It was great to see many of you at the Holiday Show this year. I had a great time, and the new songs just fly. It was also the fastest sell out in my history, which is an Omen in itself.

The set:
Strawberry Song // Skimming // Sooner or Later// How it Ends // Ever Since (solo) // You Could Be Anywhere (solo) // Daylight // Run // Underwater // Grace // Springtime (encore, solo)

While I was playing the show, a great friend was uptown, giving birth to a baby girl. Also, my friend Louis, who worked at the Chelsea diner and gave me most of the coffee that fueled my past five records, died of a heart attack. He was 49, and a sweet guy. He's thanked on Skimming and Pictures. I will miss him.



Next, it's off to New Orleans...

Hi Mike,

Just want to thank you for an awesome evening. We took our daughters to see you play last night (both seasoned fans) and we all had a blast. And major thanks for the Omens - our ten-year-old got tequila and our fifteen-year-old got the Masters and Johnson book of Human Sexuality; clearly very disturbing things await us in the new year...

Mike,

Amazing Show last night! It was good to see you again. I promise to put the Omen (the perfect piece jumped into my hand) to good use. It may be inspiration for my next line of jewelry.

My Holiday Omen was a draidel (sp?)

Past omens for me included:
1) leopard skin women's panties: FACT
2) a crown
3) a leather wallet with chain: FACT
4) two visits to a personal trainer - never used FACT!
5) a draidel

All true.
All omens are true.
