The departure of John Barrows resulted in a radical regrouping of The Professors as a trio. The challenge was met spectacularly as the new Professors line-up performed for the first time at the Failte Coffeehouse in Hopewell, New Jersey, with Meg Radford performing backing vocals. For the first time in their history, The Professors performed an entirely acoustic set, with Gary playing classical guitar throughout. Existing Professors' songs were re-arranged for the acoustic trio set up. Crisis of Confidence and Peer Review , which are usually performed as loud electric guitar songs, were given completely new acoustic treatments. A new Pink Floyd medley of "One of My Turns" and "Nobody Home" (from "The Wall" album) and "Wish You Were Here" was performed for the first time. This show also saw the premiere of the original song Generations, with lyrics by Peter VanEmburg and music by Gary Radford.
