Awesome show. You guys were a blast. I had the benefit of sitting in Dave's rocking chair next to Marc and Caroline and getting to hear Caroline sing harmony with you. We all dug it. Thanks Tim. We'll do that again soon. - Dan
Hey Timothy It was good to meet you guys and play the show. Happy days, I'd love to come back and play Detroit as a band, like we talked about....have fun Andy
