it was an intimate venue

                           in other words

small and jampacked

had to excuse yourself if you wanted to scratch your ass

though it did get ones hands down within desirable climes

if one could find a place to set down their pint of cider

                                                         a ciderhouse  yes

first time in the venuefirst time sipping cider

                                               first time missing a mug a handle

always misses his fathers mugs

                                   heavy cutglass

could pound nails with them in a clutch

he was enjoying the singer

wrote his own songs

his intimacy apparent

acoustic guitar

                 was accompanied by a female cellist easy on the eyes a virtuoso which played keenly to his sapiosexualism  Look it up

two hands in the audience went up

he turned to the woman beside him Excuse me  Excuse me   he tapped her on the shoulder Excuse me

she turned Yes.

Thank you Im sorry whadid he just say please

Jeffrey?  she was talking with a man beside her when he interrupted

Yes  Jeffrey

He asked if anyone in the audience was the son of a pastor; he usually asks, is this the first time you’ve seen him?

It is Pastor  Thank you 

                         My daughter recommended him Shes attended three of his gigs in Seattle

she smiled all teeth I’m a bit of a geek, occasionally I’ve followed him on tour.  You see we grew up in Portland I’m not a stalker. she laughed musically stalker amused her  I have friends here.

Hes awfully good

He’s freaking amazing, his lyrics heartfelt, so meaningful I love him, I really love him.

he smiled I’m happy to talk to such a devoted fan  Thank you for the moment.

You betcha have fun.  she turned back to talk with the fella he interrupted

Pastor he said to himself

                          he thought he had said bastard   he almost raised his hand
