What a great show to start off the year! David and the family treated us to a wide range of tunes, from lowdown dirty blues to traditional cantos en enspanol to loving ballads to screaching rock. Quite a time! I was surprised that the place wasn't full to over-flowing, but happy to have the extra room to dance.

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!
