Walk in a few minutes before show time and take our place in the middle of row L. The place is fairly full, and buzzing with excitement. All set for a good time? Oh yeah.

Marc and David trade tunes, spanning a range of sources. Two hours later, we all agree, that was crazy good!

Walking out, Ting and I see Cougar having a smoke outside, and we stop to chat a bit. After a few minutes, he invites us to head backstage, so we do, spending about an hour meeting the other performers and hanging out. Great fun!

As an aside, Jon Solomon posted a good interview with Marc about this project.
