I discovered that Godspeed You Black Emperor! are playing this Saturday
at The Wherehouse in Winston-Salem, NC, which is "only" a little over 2
hours drive away from me.

Are they worth seeing?  I have no idea what they sound like, but people
appear to be raving about them on here.

If it help any, I am partial to the music of the Rev. Gary Davis
(piedmont bluesman), whom, I notice, gets a dedication on the back of
one of their albums.

Oh, and does anyone have any clue as to where The Wherehouse actually
is?  Phone number??

Cheers,

Paul.
