Those shots are great! :rsmile:

Hey, no shame in taking care of your family, fer chrissakes! We'll be back down at the end of November; if you're still in town, we'll hopefully catch up then.

Another one of those moments when "words fail". She sounds like the kind of person we want to have around forever.

Good to see you too, Sal, and thanks for the compliments. We'll be back there in about 5 weeks.

Wow. Thank you, Larry and Greg. Reasons to keep going - not that I was thinking of giving it up, but hey, sometimes we need all the help we can get!

Were you there?

Mark, Larry, and Sal showed up. Mark took some shots, and Larry promised a review. If minew was there, I didn't get introduced. Also Detroit drummer RJ Spangler happened to be in town. A small but appreciative crowd. Martyr's is a GREAT room. Very musician friendly. I look forward to our next Chicago gig in November!

Well now!

It had been a while for BSL, and it was pretty rough. That's a deceptively difficult tune. Another time perhaps.

Yeah man - as much as you, being "the next poster".

Hey, I love AB and BA as much as the next poster!

April 29th: Duke Ellington I was born the same day and year as Andre Agassi.

Mommy? I have to go potty. Bad.

BTW, that is the City Pulse article in its entirety.

p.p.s. or, with what you know.

p.s., I did credit Blakey for the quote during the interview.

Columbia mistakenly enrolled me in the Latin music club, and now it seems I have an introductory offer for the BMG latin club. I'm thinking about trying to use that order the 12 for 1 to see if they catch it.

What fun! It was a great pleasure meeting and hanging out with everyone. Playing for y'all was just the icing on the cake. It truly is a great bunch of people we have here.

Dude! That was my plan the whole time! (isn't that what you're supposed to do?)

Dinner would be good, I'm thinking.

It's all good.

We're on the upper west side, 96th I believe, at the moment.

Have any ideas taken shape? We don't have to load in until an hour before the hit, so there's plenty of time to hang out - which I would certainly enjoy.

Dandy!

I may go to the Grand Rapids show, especially now that I see Gary Versace is in the band. I bet it would be a fun night.
