Harmony and dischord

Peter Case (left) and Paul Collins at The Record Bar, March 19,2012.

Within 48 hours of the time I snapped this pic at KC’s Record Bar, Peter Case (left) had kicked Paul Collins (right) off the tour of that started off a couple of weeks earlier as a Nerves reunion. (See here: Nerves fray on reunion tour)
In retrospect, they seemed a bit distant from each other during the show, but they sang sweetly and rocked hard for my $18. The exquisite “Hanging on the Telephone” was the pre-encore set closer. With the auto-focus and flash, I’m lucky to get a pic as right on as this one. I read a recent story with a renowned portrait photographer, and he said “Turn off the auto-focus and take a light reading.” I take it as a challenge to learn my equipment well enough to do that.
