In short its got that '3am smoke filled room sweat factor' you mention in abundance. Enjoy the show, you never know, they just play out of their proverbial skins on the night against all the odds.

That would be the goal. As to the 3 a.m. thing there's an age and a frailty that can go with it that ends that. Adult beverages, well I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention any more. Like one a week, maybe two. Now if you count coffee, oh dear. I see a new trend here, the local blues bar starts the band at 8:15. It's only a few blocks from here, maybe when the weather gets better I can make the first set. I was cleaning out my drawer on the weekend and realized I still had a nice box of cuban cigars I brought back from Havana. Travel agent phoned me a few days ago, plane leaving the local airport (15 minute drive) for Havana, one week, meals, drinks, hotel, airfare for 550$ tax in. The wife can't go and I'd practically need a nurse. Nice trip though. Takes just over 2 hours and you are in the tropics. I liked the cars.

The wife and I split a light beer at 10:30 last night after playing flute/piano for 2 hours (spirituals then Rod Stewart's Great American Song Book). 1/2 light beer is pretty lame. Missed the news. Didn't miss the Saturday Dance though. Key of C. I gotta figure out something for that C D D# E lick on the bass, it's stale. Historical but stale. Like my Cubans.
