Is Nick's guitar loud enough in the mix? That's all I'm worried about. ;-)
BTW- I had a good experience at the Rochester Frond gig I'd like to
mention. I asked Ade for a copy of his new CD, "Head Cleaner," but he
didn't have any copies at the gig. So he asked me "What do CD's go for
around here?" I paid him in cash, and he told me to write to his e-mail
address and explain the situation to his son Aaron, who reads the mail and
would send me a copy. I was a little skeptical, but it wasn't long after I
had written that I received the CD. I would have complained on BOC-L if I
hadn't received it, so I thought it was fair play to praise as well.
