review in Seattle PI
8 Nov 2007; Seattle, WA - Townhall Great Hall; 826 Seattle Benefit
John Roderick hosted and played some songs: Pushover on guitar, The Commander Thinks Aloud on piano. "He and Rosie Thomas also took about 5 audience requests and played ~30 seconds of Freebird, Stairway to Heaven, the theme to Charles in Charge...and a couple others. They ended the event by having a sing-a-long with the audience of Silent Night--and John infused it with a shot of gospel."
