She seems pretty squared away from what I can tell, and yes, she certainly takes a way better picture than that one. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Oct 2010 16:42:37 -0500 (CDT) From: David Witzany Subject: Reapers, Wally Barbara Billingsley, 94 Dave.

The new album seems a bit uneven, but there are some pretty wonderful songs on it. Their concert on Friday night (Chris Hintz, if you are out there, I thought of you all night) was blissfully beautiful. The setlist covered much of their career (going way back to Tigermilk). Highlights for me were The State I Am In, Mayfly, Funny Little Frog, Boy with the Arab Strap, Piazza New York Catcher, and If You Find Yourself Caught in Love (and the first song from the new album). The Pats just beat Baltimore. I am feeling good, even though it's Sunday afternoon. Jill ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V18 #190 ********************************
