So, after our epic error on the New Riders of the Purple Sage show, I heard from a gentleman named Howard Bullen, who was very nice and promised to send me his thought on the show.

He also sent some nice photos.

Here's what he had to say:

> Tad, it was a great show! Two full sets - age is catching up with me, I wrote down the set lists and now find that between the Purple Haze beer, memory, and my handwriting, its a little rough making it out! Nevertheless, they played about 20 songs in all, many of the standards the crowd expected, but what impressed me the most was the musicianship of the band! Very tight and could extend and jam with the best (Dave and is pushing "70" and it sure doesn't show - Buddy hasn't lost anything either!) A dready fella AKA ScareKrow opened for them on acoustic guitar, and played some covers and originals including one he wrote with Robert Hunter, "Billboard Dreams" - very nice - he is one to watch and I hope he comes back to Roanoke with the NRPS or solo - going to try to search myspace to see if he's got a page with some of his music up. <

Thanks, Howard. Glad you enjoyed the show!
