Scraping penny mode right now...

Going to see Robert Randolph 12/28 at UPAC in kingston NY....

My band is playing Saturday night in Hunter... Should be great...

Hey doug and suggestions on a place to ski between Buffalo and Albany?. Hunter must be in the area somewhere. Sounds like you have a good show coming up. Hope your gig goes well also.
Thinking of maybe some afternoon runs on Sunday.

Had to save a little to do this run. I also used all my free passes with my wife. After 20 years of shows she kind of is use to it.

SkiDog I'll give Phil a mention. I'm front row in Wallingford Tues I'll call him over.

Hunter is south of all that.. About an hour south of Albany...

Is Scofield playing guitar in albany? I'm going to be pissed i missed that... Sco is my favorite..

Barry Sless was awesome. The chime sound in unbroken chain was fantastic. Larry had some nice work. Molo was solid. Very little from the keys. Phil was running the orchestra very well. Chris was hard to hear early on. Nothing that ready did anything for me from him.
