I see Bruce reading my request during rain break. NO dulcimer set due to weather on stage.

Great little venue despite general admission- had a nice aisle seat about five rows up – dancing down front. My Big Rumble request from Charlotte is “perfected” here, thanks to Bruce’s generosity and my normally useless attempts at mind control by collage. Both shows had Moyes Lucas on drums.
