Thanks, Dave. Part of the problem with the other series (other than the lack of Jazz Clothes) was that they weren't playing on a proper stage - they were just holed up in a corner of the bar. Plus, there was no crowd to speak of (just 4 or 5 friends of the band). No ambience there! This place, The Rex, had a full house that night, and I think that energy percolated to the band. I don't think their music was any different, but I think their body language changed. That, with the Jazz Clothes and the proper stage, plus going without a flash, made all the difference, I think. I've (naturally) got more - may print them up one day. Thanks again. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
