Hey Leslie, The Library was cool! Great staff, and a great soundman Tom Lorenz. Plus tons of old woodwork and marble.
It would be an honor to share a stage, and a night of music with you. You say when...I'm there! (maybe TBA @ the Chapel ?) I think our musical vibes would be an interesting mix for an audience. I could even back you up on the Telecaster for a tune or two.
