When I think of Murray and the drums at the same time, skilled isn't really the first word that comes to mind[1], but mostly, yeah, they are decent enough musicians to handle other instruments.

Indeed. Their skills on all the different instruments may vary, but they do seem to love to experiment and learn new instruments. That's one of the band's main attractions, to me. Dave sounds different on the bass than Murray does; Mur's percussion style is different from Jian's. Hence, much flexibility in sound, more opportunity to create and experiment and mix different sounds together. And they get to improvise more! That's hard to beat.

SF to LA > alone is 8 or 9 hours--not a daytrip, unless you're insane. I'd like to plead insanity! I just made a day trip to SF the day after the Roxy show, and it was a killer. The only reason I did it was because a friend I hadn't seen in 4 years was visiting SF from Nairobi, Kenya, and was leaving on the 9th. I really didn't feel I had a choice since the only way around a brief trip would have been to miss the Roxy show, and since I hadn't seen Moxy in 1 1/2 years, I couldn't do that, either. So, I had a pretty hectic 48 hours that week. BOY! Was it worth it, though! > > Given the success of the LA and SF shows -- and the > >potential in Seattle, the guys are bound to come back when the new album is > >released. They'd be nuts not too, in my humble opinion. They will. We all need to just be patient. I first saw them in 1992 at the Winnipeg Folk Festival. It took them 3 YEARS to get their first gig in Minneapolis. Now they play there all the time in increasingly larger venues. The touring circle is ever-widening, and the West Coast's time has finally arrived. I expect we'll be seeing more and more of them over the next year or two!
