Dark Star Orchestra

• Rob Barraco: keyboards, harmony vox;
• Rob Eaton: rhythm guitar, lead and harmony vox;
• Dino English: drums, percussion;
• Rob Koritz: drums, percussion;
• Lisa Mackey: harmony vox;
• Garrett Deloian: guitar, lead & harmony vox;
• Skip Vangelas: bass.

Garrett was subbing tonight for Jeff Mattson, who went on bereavement leave earlier in the week, following the death of his father. It made an interesting change in the lineup: Garrett is a heck of a lot more animated and expressive than Jeff or any of the prior DSO guitarists I've seen (Stu Allen & John Kadlecik). And I'm guessing that having a new guy tonight put the rest of the band 'on the spot' for making sure to be listening more closely than usual to one another and signaling when to hit their marks.

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!
