## Notes

Of course, we were unhappy to note that Reggie stayed home in New Orleans -- still too weak to travel from his latest medical treatments? -- but Charlie Wooton did a fine job filling in, and the rest of the band was absolutely on fire, kicking butt and laying down that greasy groove we wanted to hear. Makes me sad that I couldn't fit in another night's gig. Hopefully they'll be back soon!
