## Notes

I thought that Willie's set started out particularly rough -- as if the players were all a little out of sync. Maybe they just couldn't hear Willie well enough? Hard to say.

Anyways, by the time they got to _On the Road Again_ the band was choogling along down the tracks like a well-oiled engine.

I think Willie introduced his percussionist as Paul English, but I got distracted as he began the band introduction, and the auto-derange feature on my phone mangled the text into an unintelligible mess. Drat! Reminds me that I've been meaning to disable that function!

[Valerie June](http://valeriejune.com/) was the only unannounced guest today -- and she also went un-introduced. I wasn't sure what to make of her presence, but after poking around, I saw that she's on tour as the opening act for Norah Jones, so I expect she was simply tagging along this weekend -- heck, I'd join this kind of party if I got an invitation!
