I only just read your reply about the Black Rose. I have a pal in San Jose who I haven't seen since '91. If I ever get back over there I hope to catch one of your gigs. I'm familiar with that Deer in the Headlights feeling.
I was deleting the usual flood of spam when I noticed one including Cayenne Jam in the title, just too late to throw it into reverse. Was that from you? Or something hitching a ride on your post, maybe?
