Lionheart

With The Staziaks and Kamikaze Hearts

Great nite. Never seen the Lionheart so packed on a Sunday. Props to the out of towners in the house (Heather, Lew, Liz, Mary... and Robbie, in spirit). Show highlights: Troy Pohl soldiering thru '3D Boxes' with a broken string; Matt killing the mandolin; Rich's rockin ode to a 'Fucking Idiot;' weaving Black Sabbath's 'Warpigs' into 'Six;' Johnny killing 'Boys with Guitars' (best ever?); 'QE2 dancing' with Rich and Kathy late-nite; listening to the Staziaks new studio cuts when I dropped Rich off later-nite.

Personal highlight: right before Matt and I launched into Six , Johnny dropped my Xmas present on the stage. I've been meaning to add this one to my CD collection. What a thoughtful gift. It contains all of the Hall and Po classics, including 'Your Kiss is on my List of Teenage Survival Instructions' and 'Delilah Smiles.' Thanx, John.
