Monday nights singer/songwriter series at Seahorse near South Street Seaport in lower Manhattan brought back regulars Town Cryer with Joff Wilson's trio Soul Cake opening.  I got there a little late as Joff noted but I did catch 7 songs starting with their Cure cover.  This format was guitar-bass-flute for Soul Cake.   Joff's calling card song for years has been "When The War Is Over" which he closed with.  

Kenny has added a drummer after he and Rich Meyer became a duo, so we could call it a band at this point.  Both have been around enough to have originals to mix with covers.   They whipped their drummer into shape with 20 songs to learn in the past month.  They do some like "Dead Flowers" by the Stones and "All I Have To Do Is Dream" by the Everly Brothers as well as some lesser known stuff like "Praying Mantis" by Don Dixon.  Rich gets his voice high enough to sing "Drunken Angel" by Lucinda Williams.
