Yeup - Nels is definitely a wonderful soul. I have a postcard up on the bulletin board in my kitchen that he sent me with some kind words regarding music that sort of starts my day every morning - I have a few Wilco bootlegs of the recent tour and I am a bit disappointed in Nels participation. I was probably expecting too much from it though. I guess a guy like him can't really stretch out all that much in the context of Wilco but I seem to prefer Bennets contributions to the live sound more so than Nels. And how about that Letterman performance - Nels in front of a Marshal Halfstack :) But it's nice to see him get a nice paycheck and exposure from a situation like this. I can't wait until he comes back home for some more local shows and maybe some more Carla gigs. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
