That would have been worth the ticket price, if I could have budgeted
the early September show at the Ryman. Just couldn't swing it right
now.

That doesn't sound too different from how Difford looked when they
performed when I saw them in '88, riding high on their U.S. chart peak
("Hourglass," "853-5937"). Tilbrook is always tremendously engaging,
with Squeeze or solo,and Difford always looks impassive (though if you
look up "impassive" in the dictionary, there's a picture of Jay Farrar
performing live). But since I haven't seen them this time around, I
dunno.
