Rick comments: " >>" means that we linked the songs together with no pause in between.
"/" was our first attempt at varying the Friday and Saturday set lists,
we would play one on Fri / the other on Sat.
This varying of setlists eventually would lead us to "no repeat"
or, as Steve named it "Dual Quad" set lists as our eternal quest and goal.

Oct 3 - First Craig Tricks Party - LIZ - Craig's Barn, Hudsonville
This super surprise Tricks rock and roll party for Krystal's cousin Liz Weidner, was put together by Craig Bykerk.
It was to "pay Liz back" because Liz put together the surprise b-day party for Craig on March 7, earlier this year. Thus began a long string of surprise birthday and anniversary parties at Cap'n Craig's barg in Hudsonville.
