John R. Miller had just released “The Great Unknowing,” and William Matheny had just released “Material Witness.” July 20th was a double album release from these great artists - held at the greatest Morgantown venue ever, 123 Pleasant.
The crowd was packed tight. The mixture of craft stouts and dented cans of PBR flowed high. “High” simply being a metaphor for the fragrant smells in the air. You could have thrown a small pebble anywhere in the crowd and likely hit someone you knew quite well. This was like a summer version of those winter nights when all the townies welcome back their long-lost college friends. Chill friends gathered at the upper bar, just enjoying the sounds. The dance floor was packed tight. The lower bar was filled with the absolute regulars - playing pool and drinking from expensive cans of Samuel Smith.
I did my usual thing, wiggling in and out of the crowd. Trying not to bother anyone too much.
Let’s get dreamy.
