Then Townes Earle played. Friggin awesome. Highlights were Mamas Eyes and What do You Do When you're Lonesome. Played about thirty minutes, Searcher on drums.

Felice Brothers next. Dave on drums, searcher dancing and harmonies. Tenderly was great. Take This Bread with all Bands , left crowd buzzing. Ian has never been better. You can see the future of the band with Ian freed up to display great Showmanship.(fingers crossed horn section)
