Hey thanks!  At least I got his voicemail.

Couldn't help but notice that another of my requests, "Rise", was being played during the end-of-show credits. Is this a new phenomenon with this show?

AL will occasionally bust out an 11th song during the backsell.

It's sad, but I just *got* the Monty Python / Easter connection.  Happy Easter everybody.

TC, thanks for the prudent editing of the phone number. Not that I don't trust you guys, but lord only knows who's lurking here. And Alicat, thanks for passing the number on to Mark (I did call him back this afternoon, got voicemail), but next time: personal message, please.

BOS Elvis & his Green Shirt...but not a real green shirt, that's cruel.

Heard the set on the way down to Filoli, and Green Shirt was definitely my BOS.  That was a pretty heady time to be an Elvis-head.
