I couldn't have put it better Jim!!!! Wendy and I had a great time
hanging out with Jim before the show as well as the show itself. It was
a great show, thank you DB's for such and excellent evening! We were
sorry to hear some of you were a little under the weather but like Jim
said, you sure could have fooled us!!! Hope everyone is back to 100%
real soon. Thanks to Big Mike for coming out after the show and
shooting the bull with us, who knows, maybe you guys will really mess
with the girls head who asked "what made you decide not to do Shambala",
and do it!!!! I loved Mike's comeback about the fact it was a Three Dog
Night song might have something to do with it! Mike got a pretty good
laugh out of it and was a true gentleman! Again congrats on the new
album, I love it more and more everytime I listen to it. Good luck with
the rest of the tour and hopefully we'll see you back this way real
soon!
