 I arrive at the Spite House, not knowing quite what to expect, but very happy with what I find. | The Spite House is a magical venue in Seattle where I was the featured artist one special night. I play cigar box guitar above and miniature guitar below  It is really an oasis for musicians. |  I played 4 instruments that night, and closed with acoustic guitar. |
| Spite House Band, Stephen Fandrich on piano and Bill Monto on saxaphone, opened the program. | Stephen Fandrich goes deep inside the piano. |
 After the opening and featured sets, the Spite House had one of their customary, signature jam sessions. Amelia Clearheart and Jim Knodle got things going. |  Things went in some wonderful and unpredictable directions. Some talented musicians joined in, and the music continued into the night. |  My musical colleague Rich Hinrichsen sat down at the piano, I joined in on acoustic guitar, Stephen Fandrich added wooden drums, and midnight approached. |
