Well it always seems like Jerry-church when Melvin plays, and this afternoon's set was no exception. The sun was shining, the crowd was grooving, and everything was absolutely delightful!

I was especially happy to hear the drum interlude towards the end of the set: it's good to turn the drummers loose now and then!

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!
