Dinner and a show is always a pleasure, and today's event was a hoot! I suppose that some folks might argue that a show that features more performer banter than music is hardly a show, but Jeff Pehrson was on a roll tonight.

I'ma gonna guess that aside from being less of a gabber than Jeff, Lebo was also a little restrained by the presence of his parents in the front row. Can't get too far off the rails when your mom is there to set things straight!

Apparently this wasn't the first duo show these guys have done (maybe it was 5/9/18 or 6/10/18), and they mentioned that the search is on for a good “band” name – all the better for getting more gigs, right?

Sorry about the unidentified tunes in the second set; hopefully I'll get the missing tune titles corrected by one or the other guys soon.

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!
