Dang! I was there too, would have enjoyed hanging out with some other board folk as I was flying solo. BTW I highly recommend the spinach salad.
I've known Chris for a long time, and was glad to see him so well last night. He is very shy by nature so it's not easy for him to perform in front of people, even after all these years. His guitars further complicate the issue, they are all vintage [his oldest is a 1929 dobro] and are not easy to get in tune, and some have a hard time staying in tune. Combine all that with the freaky tunings he uses in his songs, and it's easier to understand why he gets fidgety.
I'm going back to see him again tomorrow night, anyone else going?
