## Notes

Hmmn. Yet another show lacking a proper writeup. _Shocking, simply shocking!_

It's hard to imagine that I couldn't find time to jot down thoughts about my first visit to Rendon Hall (recollection from some eight months later: it's a small room -- about the size of a typical college seminar room, maybe 30 x 40?. Looks like it wouldn't sound good with such a big band/so many musicians), or my second time listening to the New Zombies (very good, very good! Keep playing folks! This is really interesting stuff!).

I seem to recall Michael telling me that audio and video would eventually get posted online, but I haven't seen anything out there yet.
