Well I think we spent almost as much time milling around in the lobby and waiting as we did listening to music, but it was still real fun to attend the show, particularly as it was free! While the rest of the band seemed loose and relaxed, Todd was acting kinda nervous and twitchy. His singing was perfectly fine, and in relaxed voice, but he kept fidgeting with his clothes, and face, and at, and back to his clothes. Hard to know what was going on there … hope it's just a passing phase for him.

And while the set was kinda short, it was nice to be invited to meet and mingle with the band afterwards – an opportunity for regular old chit-chat with entertainers you look up to doesn't come up every day, you know!

To their credit, KFOG has a podcast of the show posted online for us all to enjoy, thanks folks!

Back to the calendar!
