Heather showing up in the latter half of the night went a long way towards making this a Lovely night. She was on her way home from her family’s Father’s Day gathering and brought unto me one of my favourite things: homemade lemon bars! Especially since (once again) the kitchen at Morsbergers was a dark and quiet place, this infusion of calories was deeply welcome.
A couple of new people (one of which left right after his set, just in case you wonder if such things are noticed and remembered) and a bunch of regulars were good entities to come home to. It was good to see (and hear) Stella Rose again and be reminded that she’s an absurdly intelligent writer: if you can write a song that is ABOUT a specific group that if SUNG by that specific group could come across as a truly heartfelt expression of their viewpoint, but if sung by a DIFFERENT group, specifically the writer, becomes an incredibly scathing critique of that first specific group, well – that’s a great song.
Wow. But I could say that better, right? Stella Rose wrote an atheist’s song that if sung by a Christian would totally sound like a heartfelt hymn, but because it was written and performed by her, is deeply and beautifully cutting.
We do this every Sunday night at Morsbergers Tavern at 713 Frederick Rd, Catonsville, MD, 21228. Signup around 6.30pm, music at 7pm. 2 songs or 10 minutes, whichever’s shorter. I’ve given up telling people about the food, though it’s good when it’s there, at the moment it’s usually not.
