Encores:  The year is 1995, the place, Jaxx Springfield VA.  After
playing a wicked yet shortened set (no fault of BOC just slow opening
bands and a 2 am curfew) the band chooses to roll a Harley on stage and
do BtBW.  Written set list showed the first choices were Golden Age and
Red & Black.  Real disappointing.  BTW this was the last time I actually
saw Eric sing.

Jamming:  Jamming is an art.  Some great bands, Grateful Dead, Allman
Brothers, Gov't Mule excel at this.  Just try to follow along as best
you can.  Look at the original lineups background.  Buck is the son of a
jazz musician, the Bouchard Brothers at one time played R&B covers.  The
band certainly had the talent for impromptu jamming.  Haven't seen tBS
live but wonder if they too didn't do some jamming at the historic three
set gig a few months back.

Baby Brother - Good to see Joe is still doing his thing.  Perhaps Al has
infected his brother to play for the sake of playing.

Danny Miranda - I've seen Danny a few times now and I always come away
with the impression that Danny could be a real vital piece of the band.
Seems to me we have only seen the surface of what he's capable of doing.

Drum solo's - If you can knock the fark out of the skins why not show it
now and then.  Just no Moby Dick's please.

As of 7/7 list membership is 203.

"The true mad scientist does not make public appearances.
He does not wear the "hello my name is" badge.
He strikes from below like a viper.
Or from up high like a penny being dropped from the tallest building
around.
He has but one purpose, to do bad things to good people with science!" -
