At this point during the show, after John Houx had played and the evening drew late, more friends came into the house. I think it was about 30 or more friends and there was plenty of food in the kitchen to eat along with the now four empty bottles of wine for musical guests and housemates.

Last time when Rachel played with John, she used a loop pedal, guitar and her voice. This time there was no need for that fangled technology of loop oriented entrancement. Rachel sang and played electric guitar and this brought to the room a comforting feeling that seemed to warm the room… That could have also been the fifty people that were inside of the house in both the kitchen and living room. I’m sure though that Rachel’s songs inspired some body heat.

Rachel is funny. Despite how serious or sweet, sorrowing or gleeful her songs are, she pads comedic banter between them. It adds another delicious layer of enjoyment to her performance and provided a healthy bi-polar / manic depressive state for everyone. Perhaps well rounded is a better descriptor. Rachel’s voice swooned those who listened from the dining and living room, in return they swooned her with participation and appreciation.
