Hi Ed, Thanks for the encouragement.

The show was an absolute hoot. Steve and I played to 80-100 people on the patio, and another hundred or two down on the lawn waiting on Hip Pocket.

Steve is a joy to jam with. His control of the harp is unbelievable. He can play acousticcally with excelent dynamics, or through his little nifty fifty amp and get dirty. Dirty works withy my acoustic, because he keeps it under control.

Great crowd response, and the venue wants us back. I play there quite a bit solo, but I think I (we) reached a new audience with this show.

I'd post a song, but I forgot to turn the recroder on! Oh one more thing, Hip Pocket pulled in the best crowd ever at the Vineyard - over 600 people! Woo hoo!

David
