Notes

Another amazing meal and a killer show. Just your regular bit of heaven conjured up on a Sunday afternoon at Moss House. Ting and I arrived pretty early – the better for her to shoot good pics and for us to hang out and socialize, but today, we got the test of an hour plus Soundcheck from the bands, as they ran through setlist suggestions and tried to shake the dust off those rusty strings. Travis was annoyed to find out that his second guitar was sidelines for lack of a replacement battery, but Jeff saved the day by bringing his Gibson downstairs from the bedroom. Folks, he's not ONLY a chef!

In retrospect, I should have prepared for the show by listening to some of my Houston Jones albums; as it was, I had a hard time identifying all of the songs, no doubt there are a few errors up there!

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!
