## Notes

Mexican performer [Silvana Estrada](https://www.facebook.com/SilvanaEstr/) was supposed to be part of the tour, but her work visa got hung up somewhere in the State Department queue, so [Rob Dixon](https://www.reverbnation.com/robdixon) was recruited as a last-minute replacement. Seemed to fit in just fine! I was plenty happy to hear a set that stayed centered on Charlie's quirky interpretation of the blues.

I was a little miffed that by the end of the first set the venue seemed to have filled up with folks more interested in talking than listening to the show, but the sound was good up front, and the distraction was really only apparent during the quieter interludes.

Ting got a picture of the setlist that Charlie had onstage (shown above, in case you somehow missed it!). Unfortunately, it seems more like a random list of possibilities than the actual set-as-performed. Hopefully someone else will chime in with a more definitive list!

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!
