Thanks again to all who came out to hear us. I thought the performances of "Chrysalis" and "Lizard Brain" were especially strong, as well as the two tunes featuring Donny -- "Desolation Sound," and an extra-slow version of "Drift" dedicated to Shirley Horn. Also, "The Perils of Empire" -- a piece of faux horror-movie music I wrote in early 2003, during the runup to the invasion of Iraq -- ended up being grimly appropriate, as it was on the morning of Oct 25 that the 2000th U.S. combat death in Iraq was announced.
