Thank you, thank you for the wonderful recounting! I almost felt like I'd been there. It sounds like you had an absolutely amazing and memorable evening. And darn, I don't have my Davy icon loaded...

Sounds like so much fun. I'd love to see them in concert. I'll have to look and see if they're likely to come out my way.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I can just see the antics.

You're welcome! :DDD
