Over The Moon Pub & Pizza (Marietta, Ohio)

Levi Westfall, myself & Moon Mullen
Last Saturday I had the opportunity to play at the Over The Moon Pub & Pizza in downtown Marietta, Ohio. Each month they have a Songwriters Showcase featuring local and regional musicians. I played along with Levi Westfall and Moon Mullen, two great Marietta songwriters

Moon is not only the former Mayor of Marietta but also is the owner of the shop along with his wife Claire. It was a fun night. Along with a night of original music, they also provided great pizza and beer. If you ever find yourself in the River City make it a point to stop in. Thanks to Moon and Claire for inviting me to perform.

Taffy’s (Eaton, Ohio)

Playing live at Taffy’s in Eaton, Ohio. Taffy’s is a combination craft beer, coffeehouse and live music venue in downtown Eaton, Ohio. (Legend has it that John Hammond and Buddy Guy have played there).Eaton is a small town in western Ohio just a short distance from the Indiana border, not far from New Richmond.

When I played there a few years back Taffy’s was owned by a colorful German guy named Manfred. (I have been told it is now under new management) When I first walked in the place, Manfred told me to help myself to a bottle of beer. Of the literally hundreds of craft and imported beer in stock, I chose a nice brown bottle of Miller Lite.  Manfred was unhappy with my selection and let me know

about it. He was also unhappy with the pick-up in my acoustic guitar and he let me know about that too. Manfred was unhappy about a lot of things, mainly politics and the economy, and he shared his displeasure with everyone in the audience, which totaled exactly three people including Manfred. He also kept a tambourine behind the bar which he would pull out every now and then to add some percussion to my music. This was okay except Manfred was always about a half beat slow.

Still, I had a good time at Taffy’s. It is a great venue to play and Manfred was one of those grumpy people you can’t help but like. Last I heard, he was living out west somewhere. I wonder if he still has that tambourine?
