Is anyone doing the Philly show? Dinner first? the TLA is in a bar-heavy part of town, so it could be a good night. Last time I did a Feg thing in Philly I made Mark Allen host Bayard and Doug. I am pleased to say Im no longer in a row house, so if people would like to crash, I actually have 2 sofas(no extra beds yet.) Ive no idea any more how many times Ive seen Hitchcock. Over 20? What I remember is high points. At the old Ritz in NY, The Edyptians with Buck on extra guitar, seguewaying out of "What Can I Say To You" into "What Goes On," -- An a capella version of Heaven, again with the Edyptians, at the decrepiet old strip-palace, The Troc, here in Philly,-- and Maxwell's (sigh) packed past probability and possability, a version of "a Day in the Life" with him hopping tween guitar and piano, and when he sang "Id love to turn you on" I can honestly say my head exploded. LordK--psyched for the 13th. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
