Another great show to wrap up a busy week, whew! It was a challenge keeping track of who was playing what and catching song titles from Portuguese while writing in the dark. I wouldn't be surprised to learn there are more than a few errors in the notes shared above. Palhaço was a real treat to hear: not many folks are brave enough to cover Gismonti tunes!
