Holy Crap!  Yes I did go, and yes I am back.  The show was amazing, Ric was
amazing.  The fretless guitar, drums etc...were awesome.  However, there
were just 9 or 10 of us there, which was dissapointing for the band you
could tell.  At one point Ric asked a friend of his sitting in the audience
if he wanted to come up and sing.  I was thinking "Dang this evening really
has gone downhill fast".  Then I heard the voice....the unmistakeable voice,
and being really bad with faces I had to wait until after the show to be 100
percent sure that I in fact did hear David Wilcox singing with Monk.  And to
think without Don, The Drew and Bethany I could have missed all of this
(Steve you chimed in too late to factor into my decision).  All of this and
I will be in bed by 10:30.

Out here full of musical bliss.
