Here's the newspaper ad for the second show.
Surprisingly in comparison with Monday's show no changes at all were made to tonight's setlist. Jimmy sang Boats Drinks and Pencil Thin Mustache in the same locales too. The only difference was Homemade Music as the intermission video -- and the fact we had much better seats! A heavy Ma and Pa Kettle couple, in full costume, did a jig during Gypsies in the Palace, and during Volcano Jimmy was handed a cell phone through which he could serenade some audience member's relative.

This show inspired two more parody songs.
This one, sung to the tune of "Cowboy in the Jungle", and a guest submission sung to the tune of "Gypsies in the Palace" written by contributor Mike Auquier. Both songs were occasioned by the poor behavior of the gentlemen in front us, as heard in the above RealAudio file.
These lyrics, and two more (from 1995), can be found in the Poetry Corner of my Library.

Carnival Tour
Don't Stop the Carnival did not stop in Michigan this year...which means only one thing: "Road Trip!"
We were able to confront Mike Utley, following the Club Trini set, regarding this situation, and can provide a hard-hitting and unintelligible interview (in MP3 format). Mr Utley hinted that they'd tried to do a concert in Pine Knob this tour, but ultimately admitted he doesn't "know what the deal is."
