    I'm jealous! His new record is awesome.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Show was amazing! He played a song that he stated he never played in front of an audience titled "Dennis and Billy" about two life long friends and how their lives progressed. Amazing! He is truly one of the great storytellers through song ,in my opinion. The venue was great and probably only 200 people attended which is as intimate as it gets. He is on to Chicago tonight for a sold out show! If you can please go out and support his tour!

    Sounds awesome!

    It was similar when I saw The Hold Steady... that place was surprisingly vacant, which made it that much better. :mrgreen:

    Glad you had a good time!
