Carlton Smith is always a great show (Thrillcycle RIP).  Just saw Alan
Merrill a few weeks ago and he was fun live.  Played Slowdown and the
obligatory I Love R&R.  And opening for him was Greg Shafritz, also on
this bill, who is one of my college buddies.

Hmmm.  And I'm going to be in NYC for Spamalot Saturday afternoon . . .
