[The 40 Watt Club put on a special show last week to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Barrie Buck running the club. The 5 sets were short, so rather than my normal pace of 2 shows per week, I'll be posting one set each day this week.]

David Barbe and his Quick Hooks haven’t played much recently. Here’s hoping they’ll do another early-evening residency series at the Caledonia in the fall.

Track 1 – Silver-White Flash
Track 2 – In The Weeds
Track 3 – Digging A New Hole
Track 4 – My Shiny Bird
Track 5 – Caravelle
Track 6 – Broadcast Spreader
Track 7 – Hot, But You Won’t Blow
