Later tonight at Patrick Sullivans the Thompson Brothers are playing.If you haven't heard them they're kinda pop-ish but really good.Kinda Hootie meets Cheap Trick with a good sense of humor.There's a girl (from California I think) opening for them named Ali Handal.I heard part of her cd and what I heard of it rocked.
Should be fun!

You are correct. Had the band Mother Earth in the later 60's / early 70's...helluva powerful voice. Should be a great show. See you there. I'll be the one with barbeque sauce on my face...
Same one!
