## Notes

* Another really fun show ... very high levels of talent on display tonight!
* Very helpful to have LB and PB back announcing the tunes -- it let's me correct things that I'd otherwise have goofed. For example, I had _Dream of You_ noted as "not quite _Honeysuckle Rose_"
* LB teases Amati for deviating from the setlist, and needles him that _Bon soir_ and _Moonlight_ are the same song.
* Dorado switches to violin for the last few minutes of _Minor Swing_
* The band goofs off by throwing riffs and licks around at the start of the encore, as if to say, "Oh, let's play this", or "Nah, how about this instead" How many times? 4? 8? Lots!
