I wasn't at the show (I was instead at a very bad production of 'The 
Homecoming') but I have to say I'm happy to hear Smokey is gone.  He's an 
accomplished guitarists (I still wonder how much of it is all special 
effects and gadgets) but I can tell he was not gonna work.  Did anyone else 
think he had WAY too much of a wanna-be-a-rock-star vibe about him?  I was 
particularly put out with him at Uncle Pleasant's here in Louisville (which 
ranks nonetheless as one of my top 3 Otr shows).  It was a no smoking show 
and the darned kid was on stage smoking!  Bad enough, but even worse when 
I'm on the front row sucking it down my pristine little pipes!  Then Karin 
marveled at the fact that the band (meaning her and Linford) requested no 
smoking and yet is was their guitarist smoking.  And then he lit up another 
one!  How presumptous is that?!?  Anyway...he's good, but there are plenty 
of guys and gals who are just as good with more "OtR-ish" attitudes.

just a thought...
