Legend. All his albums are fantastic and he is amazing live.

Wow... The fact that this gem is buried so deeply in the worldwide chaos that it might just go almost unnoticed certainly proves that the devil is real.

[@GreatgramaMcCormick]

It was hilarious. I saw him play this for the first time live. The audience was partially shocked. "The Devil Us Real"? By our blessed Apostate!! He explained. Don't Recall. I think he wanted a little shock value. Ha! He's so awesome.

Just Wow ! 1. I am so happy to see the date and that Passim was able to pull off a Smither show in late January of this year/2021. 2. the (last time) I saw Chris play was at the 'Me and Thee' in Marblehead a cpl seasons ago. I waited till he did all his 'meet an greet' and hustling of 'merch'. Then I spoke with with him. He said come on back an let's chat while I pack my gear. I had the immense privilege to sit in that same back room as I had from the time was a 10 yr old boy (when the Coffee house first opened my Dad was the door man (cough, security/bouncer) and my mom was volunteering in the kitchen). I told him that I had his music ingrained in me (My dad brought home 'Don't it drag on' when I maybe 11 yrs old). I told him of how both his dark lyrics had sustained me through some of my dark times and his whimsical stuff had always lifted my creative spirit. He asked what 'got me through' ? I started into "...Well Monday seemed seven days long last week ...N Tuesday's only half way there..." he joined in and together, ...Capella we sang "Well noon time crawled past past Tuesday and Wednesday only gently abused me. We just slide on through. Yuh know, The rest don't get to me now... He is a living legend ! He is such a whole human He has influenced my life for half a century. All my Aloha C.S !
