Nora O'Connor joined Andrew Bird on stage for a handful of songs, including a acoustic cover of the Handsome Family's "Don't Be Scared", which literally gave me chills. Some great stuff has been going on at these Gezellegheid shows, and I can only hope that they do in fact become an annual tradition.

With these shows, all bets are off, as Bird frees himself to try out new songs, or to introduce us to older ones which are continuously evolving.
