Hey Troy, I had an editing error on my comments in the photo's. So I'm replying here. "Yeah, it was an awesome gig. 4000+ crowd. They were a gracious crowd I'll never forget. We did both covers and originals. The response was overwhelming. Numerous videos have been posted and more are coming as well as photos. We played an hour & a half. Heck, the newspaper and a photography company are trying to sell photos of us! I couldn't believe it. Had a good laugh about that. Feel very lucky. " Hope you are well, still trying to find time to come up to the cities. The music store is doing so well it's taken up most of my time.
