Hello Bruce Forum:

Just a quick greeting and thanks to Mr. Twining for running such a kick-ass web-area. I think I’ve just about read everything on this, so I guess I should take a minute to write something. I’ve been a fan of Bruce since “The Way it Is” first started getting run on the local Top Nine Tonight (!) in the mid eighties, and I think since round ’bout the year 2002, that the Bruce-Band has developed into something even greater than what they had been to that point. Maybe it was a sort of becoming after 20 odd years of tinkering with the formula, maybe it was just a group of great musicians who’d been at it as a band for a while simply gelling, but a switch went on sometime a few years back and since then, they deal only in white hot fire. Which is why I wait patiently for them to fill in the docket-holes and make with some northeast dates in the fall. Until then I’ll be trekking to NJ to check out the summer offerings and I know some of you will be as well. Congrats on that – that’s a nice move. Drop me a line if you like and help with a decision: If you were me and driving three hours from Rhode Island, would you try and get to the Count Basie show, or the one in Bergen?

Best Regards,
G.C.
