**************************
Tapers notes: Part of Earth Rider Fest. This was a fun set to end the night. There was supposed to be a few more bands that played this day, but the weather forced them to reconfigure their schedule. But, it was still a fun day all around, and Erik is always worth the price of admission. Included in the band this night was Kora Melia, a fiddle player from Houghton, MI, where Erik lived at one point and still travels back to regularly. She added a great sound to an already great group, and seems to be a semi-regular part of Erik's band going forward. Setlist wise, a lot of standard Erik songs, but "Free Money" is a song he said he hadn't played in many years, and I don't see it on any setlists of shows I've recorded, so that was pretty cool. Bernie Larsen from Cry on Cue joined the set about halfway through and added to the festive feel of the night.

I'm travelin' light and I'm slow coming home"
