## Notes

Try as I might, I'm pretty sure that I goofed up a little with these notes ... there was just too much going on to stay on top of all the changes. Anyways, I tried my best!

The show was pretty darn fun, though slightly pale and bloodless ... likely the result of transplanting the blues from a juke joint to a performing arts center, where standing and dancing seemed to be highly discouraged (unless you wanted to go way over on the side aisles). The guys got up a nice head of steam here and there, but I bet it would have been more fun to catch them in a nightclub instead. Gotta remember that for next time!
