Hiya, jg! Great review! Got a few things to add.

I'm working on some kind of official-sounding announcement declaring
it a law.

Dearly Beloved was missed terribly.

The lovely Jen informed me that long food delays are SOP at Brady's.

Cordura bag? What's that?

Aww...I love you too, jg.

I think it's a cover, but I've never seen him play it before, and I've
seen Ric play out a time or two.

He also played 'One Eye Open' and 'Speaking With The Angel'

Absolutely. I met him once, last year when Monk & VoL played York
Street Int'l Cafe, and he remembered me. Whoa.
And thanks again for the mint chocolate chip ice cream, jg! You RAWK!

>6. next song, i should know this because i'm so old, is ~i think~ a byrds

Heh. It's an old Bob Dylan tune. Close but no Havana, jg.
>the 7th song isn't introduced, so Denice helps me out with thinking it's

'Your Part Of The Story'
>8. Bill introduces the song "to the roof of the sky" by telling us that

Sir George Mallory. I read a news account on the Discovery Channel
website that they think they just found his body, and are DNA testing
it to be sure.
>13. but not for long
>(at this point in the gig, listie Dan kindly pulls a lock of Miss Jen's

>unaware. that was nice of you Dan. you score points. Maybe tannic acid is
>good for hair, who knows?)
Actually, it was Jen's teacup. She was drinking the Cinnamon Stick, I
was drinking the Plantation Mint.
>i forget just where the encore was. last two songs, probably.
Yup.
>bill played two guitars that i remember, predominately a really thin-bodied
>acoustic (wasn't it an acoustic? Toby, help out here.) and a black

The main one he used wasn't an acoustic per se, I think it was a
Gibson Chet Atkins special - hollow-bodied electric, with no sound
hole.
>the guitarist played guitar, mandolin, and pedal steel. some of the
>mandolin songs were killler!
Kenny is quite talented. He played a GIbson ES-335, Fender
Telecaster, and a 12 string Rickenbacker as well as the mandolin &
pedal steel.
>After the show, despite hopes to hang and party like it's 1999 (oh,

'Enter Sandman', which probably has a connotation that Jen wouldn't
like too much.

FUTPLEX! Thanks for the reminder. Gotta go call mom.
