Two Bowie songs ? I thought your modus operandi was one and only one Bowie song every show ?

Oh no, I've done entire blocks of Bowie songs. I make it a point to get at least one song by His Ziggyness in every show.

This reminds me of how stupid I felt when I heard the She & Him "great American songbook" a few months and, seeing 'Time After Time' I naturally assumed it was the Cyndi Lauper song. Nope.

Accordingly, I still see "Tear of a Clown" and automatically think of The English Beat. Isn't it THEIR song yet?

Props for the Pink Floyd covers - I gotta give that show a listen.
