An interesting footnote. The guy that introduced us as 'the best band in
town' is the guy in the ice cream truck who quizzes the kids on jazz in
the Levi's commercial. I guess he's done a few other spots as well.

That's good to hear. I appreciate your enthusiasm. Feedback is a big
plus. Good or bad. If you've think we've developed since Zabumba, you
should have seen us five years ago when we were playing on moodier
equipment with no horn section and a different drummer. :)
As far as your recommending our shows to the peeps here, I've always
felt that not a lot of people from this list have come to shows, but
I'll keep posting anyway. A few have mentioned that they came directly
from here, so it's worth it. You are one of those few, so obviously it
is.
> P.S. - By the way, who was the dj just prior to your show?
The only one I know of is DJ Ty. I saw our own DJ True:129 spinning for
a little while before the show, so it could of been either of them. I'm
not much help, eh? I'll dig a little deeper and get back to you.
