One of the beautiful things about OTR and CJ is their ability to work
together on stage.  They visited Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI a few
weeks ago with OTR opening for CJ.  But when the Junkies played, a few (if
not all) members of OTR joined in on various instruments or vocals.  At
one point, I counted nine people on stage playing acoustic or electric
guitars, bass, percussion, organ, and/or vocals.  It was beautiful because
no one stood out, no one overpowered anyone else.  Separately, both OTR
and CJ are marvelous groups, and together, they work together in ways that
are very difficult to accomplish.  My compliments to the whole lot of
them.
