Another really healthy crowd. Full bar and dance floor to the left, filled tables to the right. Who would've thought - Mondays! Vince's tempo's were shoddy in the first set. Drink of the night was again Blue Moon/Guinness.
Highlights included a smokin 'On the Street WhereYou Live', and a great read down of 'Filthy McNasty', which may turnout to be a sleeper in the book. Lowlights include a missing trumpet section for most of 'More' and the aforementioned tempo issues.
Brenda Ruf joined her loving husband in the sax section on the bari sax. Terry Connell once again graced us in the trumpet section, as did old man Herder.

How 'bout a shoutout to the band for a rather good read of "Come Rain or Come Shine"?? Considering its been about 10 years since anyone actually looked at that chart, I think the band did a pretty good job!
