Knopfler's songs on it are both cinematic and focused...and Roy Bittan's adds really makes the difference...since, of course, his prominence (plus the songwriting strength then) is what helps make "Born to Run" and "Darkness" head and shoulders far above (for me, anyway), the rest of the Bruuuuuuce catalog...

The John Jorgenson Quintet was scheduled to play, but they dropped out because their other Oregon show fell through, so it's our friends Honey Wars playing with another local act. I'm sure I can find a way to get fegs on the guest list, since I'm usually the one at the door. Sounds great! I'm in one hotel, Nick's in another and I think Tom is staying in a van down by the river. Robyn, sushi, independent music venues...bliss...
