Comments :
The band was billed as a quartet but we got a sextet instead ;-)
One of the best nights in my entire musical life. :-))) And I've attended many. Period. ;-)
Perfectly balanced mix between my favorite genres and influences. I loved it! :-))
It was truly a night to remember! Now it's yours ;-)
Peace, MM.
