He appeared at a local club here (Johnny D's in Somerville).  A friend of
mine dragged me down to see the headliners, "October Project".  They were
good - a little too serious for my taste (some would say "self-important")
but pretty good.

However before they came on Mehlesala came on for a one-hour solo set.
Brilliant.  I bought the CD at the show (they didn't have any others or else
I would have bought them as well).

I had never heard of him before that.
