I really hope the Emery isn't closed.  I guess the Taft would be ok to replace
it but it doesn't measure up in my opinion.  The seating layout is horrible
compared to the Emery.

This is the first time that I had heard Tumbleweeds, Anyway, and Moth.  I liked
Tumbleweeds and really liked Anyway (I started dreaming), but Moth was too
poppy.  I think maybe their poppiest?

He was good but he needs to loosen up.God, and so does Terri.  She STILL looks
stiff most of the time. (Actually, I think she should move on because she's not
being utilized enough.  She could do her own thing and do well.)

It was ok.  Like you said, they should have been able to play longer.

Again, the money=bus gas comment.

That WAS cool.  Too bad I couldn't stay and didn't bring my collection.

That's actually Peter Timmons on drums and Alan Anton on bass.

Alot of talent there.  What the hell was that little guitar thing that he
ripped up on?I thought Linford did a wonderful job on the Hammond especially
since it is such a vital part on many of CJ's songs.  It was nice seeing him in
that light.
Speaking of light, did you catch the way the light made Margo look "eyeless" at
times.  That was scary.  She does have beautiful eyes though.
CJ's set included Blue Guitar, Misguided Angel, Miles From Our Home, Sweet
Jane, A Common Disaster, Anniversary Song, Blue Moon, Lost My Driving Wheel,
Darkling Days, The Sun Comes Up-It's Tuesday Morning, The Summer of Discontent,
Just Want to See, Something More Besides You, and more I don't remember.

A good set, maybe a bit long.

btw, did anyone hear that guy that said to Margo, "Your voice sounds like
Sacrifice."?
That was wierd, he needed a tranquilizer.

Oh well, I'm actually looking forward to seeing otr again, and I haven't felt
THAT way in a long while.

bye,

Ron
