Hey.. don't have much to say. Just wanted to post a reply to move the reviews up top and the bootsty frootsie crap down to the bottom.
>How about a review?

>I took my buddy Tom, in town from Virginia for work,

>except that he has heard me and my bands attempt some
>of them a few times.

>He (and I of course) had a blast. Just as the show

>play. I'm trying to explain that
>"just-the-song-you-didn't-know-you-needed-to-hear"
>thing, and Tom reminds me that he likes country, and
>30sec later the band kicks off with Ripple in a nice
>two-steppy beat. Perfect!

>LTGTR and BE Women keep the country groove going
>nicely. As usual, DSO Sound Guy has a crystal clear

>though he's never known them.

>Masterpiece curiously happens just exactly one week
>(to the hour) after Tom had tuned into a webcasted
>show by a band that includes me and heard us attempt
>Masterpiece. At the end, I say, "that's what we were

>So, Tom's having fun. For me, the rare gem TWLWMYD
>!!!!! My first one ever, in fact. Yummy yummy yummy

>Uncanny. Just plain uncanny how DSO manages to

>The second night at Martyr's was a lot more "deep

>My hometown band did me proud! Again!!!
