Mary Chapin Carpenter :: Come On Come On

Down the River Road is not a metaphor. River Road is a real road.  Mary Chapin Carpenter used to live in the D.C. area near me.  I drive down the River Road quite a lot when I go hunting.

Back about 13 or 14 years before this song was recorded at Wolftrap, Mary Chapin Carpenter would perform for beer money at Food For Thought on Connecticut Avenue, and I was a $5 and $10 tipper when she passed the hat. I remember her well as I thought I was being extraordinarily generous with my money considering that $10 back then could buy two pitchers of Tuborg beer, and I was making less money than the receptionist in my office.
