Does that mean we are doing something right>>

 

I suppose one could play “My Canary’s Got” with enough heat to get if off
the ground, and judging from the rest of your playlist you probably know all
about that. Just curious: how well do the Portugés understand the joke of
the song in Portuguese?

 

1. If your band and ours played after each other on a festival bill, we’d
have to pay close attention to your set to avoid duplication. 

2. Your guys would have no trouble sitting in with us at the Landing should
you ever find yourself in Texas.
