## Notes

Really strong effort tonight from all involved. Lots of love in the house!

The ending to Iko Iko was a little abrupt -- kind of like parking the car by smashing into the curb. Molo said something about it being his fault afterwards, but the wreck sounded more like a group effort to me.

Mookie worked in a long bit teasing _3rd Stone from the Sun_ during his solo on _Long Gone Sam_.
