Talked with everyone but Kim in Cincy and actually let them hear the tape! Gary McCracken wanted to hear it and they all liked it, or said they did. They were walking thru the crowd to the soundboard, being totally ignored by the crowd, except me, since I knew exactly who they were. Jesus, they had just come off the stage 10 minutes ago!!
