Dear Ginny:

Yeah they are having fun. For a more somber tune see them with Taj  
Mahal on "Just A Closer Walk With Thee".

How about those drum press rolls, bowed bass and later the drum  
interlude. I think Eric Clapton got a huge kick out of this session.

The Lincoln Center Audience sure loved the performance that night. How  
could they not?

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
