Hi Elaine,

I've been thinking about the lucky Seattle boarders all week and wishing I could be there with you.

Thanks so much for the set list. Have a great time tonight!

Hi Everyone,

This is my 3rd return to Seattle and the Jazz Alley for Acoustic Alchemy's week long gig. And although I couldn't see the first couple of shows, they were (as usual).. excellent!!

Their set list was upbeat and lively with some extra solos here and there...(especially final night). Songs of note to me as I had never seen them played live before were "Get Up", "Jubilation", "Out of Nowhere", "Big Sky Country", and "Catalina Kiss" (the piece that started me on the road to AA appreciation back in 1987.

The boys were as always, professional in their playing but always tried to have fun. Mile's introduction of Greg Grainger's infamous hairdo when he played in Whitney Houston's band back in the 80's was very amusing. Greg Grainger and Gary Grainger followed up with a most excellent bass and drum solo (duet?)

Not much more to add... a fun time had by all. Elaine and my friend Jeanette had an absolute ball sitting up front and took plenty of pictures.

The last gig was sad as it was the LAST one, but that is they way of things. Looking forward to next year!!

Thanks guys (including Stewart and James) for taking the time to talk to me!!

Back to work in Canada now....
