Oh, it was SUCH a good show. We had a decent house and the music rocked. I think this is the first really good show I ever had in somewhat over 20 years of this. Another 20 years and I'll really be cooking with gas. I hope to do it every week. They loved us; the guy who brought us in got a little intoxicated and they had to close the bar :-( but we'll see. I don't think the tape came out but I'm still really happy! Thanks for your support. On 10/29/07, Teddy Kumpel <teddybut@mac.com> wrote: > bummer... I can't make it Tom.... but keep sending these.
